JVC’s NX-TC5 iPod dock with motion activated 4.3-inch LCD plays digital TV, not iPod video

I can’t imagine seeing this on retail shelves in the US anytime soon–it’s simply too expensive and lavish…and light colored. That being said, it is pretty cool to look at. If you’re shocked by the price, just think if it was Sony it would be $500 more

Unfortunately, while the unit sports an iPod dock and 4.3-inch LCD, video playback is limited to its integrated 1Seg digital TV tuner or WMV video stored on USB media — not from Apple’s beloved. It does feature a swiveling front-panel for optimal viewing angle and motion-activated display in addition to 512MB of on-board storage for photos, an AM/FM tuner, and CD player with the ability to rip audio to MD or attached USB stick at 4x speeds. The TC5 is expected to hit Japan in late August for ¥62,000 (about $655) or ¥52,000 (about $549) as model NX-TC3 if you’ve finally kicked the MD habit.
