Introduction

One thing that the iPod has always lacked was the inclusion of a FM radio. Many other MP3 players have incorporated this feature, but Apple has decided to leave this out of their popular MP3 player. For that reason many iPod speaker systems include an FM radio. Today we are looking at one such speaker system, the Altec Lansing iM600. Not only does this speaker system have an included FM radio it also has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which makes it very portable.

Packaging

The iM600 comes in the typical Altec Lansing packaging, which is very colorful and has a lot of information on it. On the front there is a large picture of the iM600 in action. On the back there is a diagram of the iM600's features.

Getting the retail box open everything inside is nicely packaged and well protected. Inside we find the iM600 unit, wireless remote, docking adapters, power cable and user's guide. Also Altec Lansing includes a free 30-day trial for audible.com, which is a nice plus.
