Well it seems today is the day of the iPod dock. But I must say, I’ve never seen a dock quite like the Einstein Sound Master Photon Ball iPod Dock before. The colored ball pulsates and flashes to the beat of the music.

It changes colors and offers up a neat lighting appeal providing an ample accent to your tunes. Your iPod can sit in the dock on the top of the device just like any other dock. Playback can occur through the dock or through your computer, if you’d like.

Also included is a clock with an alarm, an AM/FM radio tuner and more. It’s pretty basic when it comes to output, but the added Einstein crazy lightning ball on top is what this gadget is all about anyway. You can get the Einstein Sound Master Photon Ball iPod Dock now for $34.99.

We heard earlier this morning that the GSM Pre was set for a UK launch, and now it sounds like things are coming together: The Guardian says the Palm’s baby will launch on O2. That makes perfect sense, O2 owner Telefonica reportedly secured broad global rights to the Pre back in March. Of course, this is all yet to be official, but with actual GSM handsets floating around out there and an announcement expected next week, we’re guessing we don’t have too much longer to wait.
