Escient is shipping its new Fireball FP-1 Music Manager for iPods. The iPod dock features composite and S-video outputs, letting you plug the dock into your television set where you can navigate and play back media stored on your iPod. There's support for MP3, WMA, AAC, and FLAC audio.
You can also plug the dock into a wired network to stream WMA or Shoutcast audio streams. You can stream audio from your iPod to any other FireBall media manager on your home network. An optional WiFi adapter is available as well.
There's a web interface, letting you control your device through a web browser, and a PDA interface that lets you control the Fireball FP-1 with a internet-connected handheld device. Or if you don't want to get too fancy you can use the supplied IR remote.
The only thing it's lacking at this point is video support, which would be nice for a $600 device. If you're looking for video support, there are a few other iPod docks out there that you might want to check out.
