Altec Lansing has announced a new speaker system called the inMotion Air. The inMotion Air can stream music from your PC from about 300 feet away. A bundled adapter must be connected to your PC to stream the music over. The inMotion Air has Bluetooth streaming and an internal battery that will make your device work about 7 hours straight. There is a line-out connector built in as well. The retail price of the inMotion Air is $199.95. [Engadget]

The Altec Lansing Stage iPad Dock lets you dock your iPad in landscape or portrait mode. The iPad Dock received the 2011 CES Innovations Award for “Outstanding Design and Engineering.” The Octiv Stage device supports iPhone and iPod Touch models. Audio components of the Octiv Stage are optimized for stero audio and voice reproduction. The Octiv Stage has onscreen iPod-app menus and a 1/8-inch (3.5mm) stereo aux-input jack. [CrunchGear]

Altec Lansing announced that the Octiv Duo will be shipping in October at a price of $99.95. The Octiv Duo will be able to charge a pair of two iOS devices at once. A third unit can be charged via USB connected to the dock as well. The Music Mix application works with the device. This means that songs can be played as shuffle between both devices. [Engadget]

I haven’t had the best of luck with Altec Lansing speakers.  I bought some $120+ computer speakers from Altec Lansing and the sub woofer blew out within a couple of months.  This is why I choose not to spend much on computer speakers anymore.  Coincidentally Altec Lansing launched a new line of speakers that you may want to consider if you have $20-$50 to play around with.

The least expensive model introduced is the BXR1220 (pictured above).  That model costs $20 and is a pair of satellite-style speakers that works directly through USB for audio and for power.  The BXR1220 speakers also feature titanium-metallic accents and has a volume ring to easily adjust the loudness.  The BXR1221 is $30 and is the same as the 1220 with the exception of a small 4″ driver subwoofer and the requirement of wall-outlet power.

The VS2620 is $30 and is in the shape of a trapezoid.  Each speaker has a 3″ active speaker and a matching 3 inch passive driver.  There two input jacks in the VS2620 speakers, one for the computer and the other as a second audio source.

Lastly is the $50 VS2621.  The VS2621 has a 3-piece system with a 4″ driver in the sub woofer and 2″ drives in each speaker.  The VS2621′s sub woofer is about 4.9″ wide.  There are two audio inputs and volume/tone controls on one of the speakers.
