iLounge posts their first look at the Apple iPod Hi-Fi which was released on February 28th 2006.
The first look hosts a number of photos of the new device, including unboxing photos, and size comparisons with other popular units:
Macworld provided their first impressions of the iPod Hi-Fi at the media event based on the demo rooms shown at the media event, and also received mixed reviews.
As previously mentioned, Inside Mac TV (iTunes) Video Podcast offers a relatively complete video of the introduction of the iPod Hi-Fi.

Audio quality? We dont ever like to comment on this until weve done straight comparisons, but it was evident in each of Apples four demo rooms that the Hi-Fi is capable of revealing flaws in compressed audio - good for audiophiles, perhaps less so for average people or those accustomed to iTunes Music Store downloads.

Alright geeks, I'm buying one immediately. Quit whining. These puppies are going to be big. Anyone who's ever raved about the Bose Sound dock but complained that this puppy was too large, take it from Peter North: big output never comes in a small package!
Yes!

but it's so ugly!
I like the concept and I'm sure that the sound quality is fantastic, but I wish they'd contracted Bang & Olufsen to design the things.

The packaging is good, and I think the unit looks good, but I wish they would comment on sound quality - that's what's really important.

I'm really impressed w/ the way they packaged the inserts. :o I think that alone is really sexy. I think I'm a bit tired.

I think it's hilarious that Apple strewed dirty laundry on the floor of the "teenager's bedroom" demonstration room :D

The Bose seams to look much better to me! I already know it sounds great. Who knows when these come into store's maybe I can listen to it in person and deside if they are worth the price!

they could have just come to my room. i'd let them use it if i got some free stuff. but then again, my mom would be mortified at the mess if she saw it on the internet!

Anyone know if the iPod Hi-Fi charges the iPod? There was no mention of that.
Also, I wonder why Steve didn't demo it during the event. Even if they had demo rooms outside. You'd think he'd demo it like he does EVERYTHING else.
