Deflated Zeppelin: Bowers & Wilkins Unveils Smaller Speaker Dock

Back in 2007, high-fidelity audio house Bowers & Wilkins unveiled the Zeppelin speaker dock for iPhones and iPod Touches, which if nothing else lived up to its name, shape-wise.  Today, they unveil a smaller, less expensive version, the Zeppelin Mini.  And by "smaller" we mean literally smaller, physically and sonically (35W vs. 50W), and by less expensive we mean "they shaved US$100 off the MSRP, so now you only have to pay US$495.00."  You also get an updated docking arm and USB connectivity (for both syncing and streaming audio directly from your computer).
