As The Dockpocalypse Nears, Bluetooth-Enabled iPhone Substitutes Abound

Next week, Apple is expected to announce a new iPhone complete with a new dock connector, finally putting to bed the 30-pin design that's been in use since time immemorial (so long as you can't remember past nine years ago, like me). Rumors are that Apple will market an adapter, but there's no telling whether that will work with all models and makes of existing iPhone audio docks, so companies have been preparing to reap the benefits of Apple's planned?obsolescence with new Bluetooth-enabled iPhone replacements that will keep those tunes pumping no matter what Apple does to its smartphone's primary data I/O connection. Just today TechCrunch received two tips about new products that offer this kind of solution, including the auris, a device from Shenzen-based Touchkraft, LLC that will be starting a $40,000 Kickstarter campaign Monday to fund its production, and the CoolStream, from Exeter, NH-based Exeter Science and Entertainment. The auris plans to offer Kickstarter pre-orders at $24 per unit, and will retail for $40. The CoolStream is already available on?Amazon?for $40. But if you're looking for a solution today for less (or more), there are actually already plenty of other options out there.
