One of the most respected names when it comes to audio equipment has to be JBL.  This is particularly true of their iPod and iPhone docks, the sound is is always crisp and delivers above expectations.  And now you can score a great deal on the JBL On Stage Micro III. The dock is on sale on Amazon for $80 off the regular price, taking it down from $120 to $40.

This is a portable speaker system that can be battery-powered (AC power too), giving you the ability to take your tunes with you on the road, to the beach or wherever life may take you. It weights less than a pound, but you get dual JBL Odyssey full-range transducers to fill the room with “realistic JBL sound” via computer-optimized equalization. It even works as an iPod or iPhone dock, connecting to your computer via USB to sync with iTunes. There’s also a bonus IR remote for complete iPod control.

The standard audio jack means that the JBL On Stage Micro III is compatible with all other audio sources too, so feel free to connect your Android smartphone, notebook PC, or portable gaming system. Rounding out the features are USB input, the new JBL weave design (who wants a bland black box when you can have this kind of style?), and up to 16 hours of battery-powered music playback.

Pick it up for just $39.99 including free shipping, which is a killer deal considering that the regular price was $119.95.
