The usual iPhone dock does things such as charging, syncing, and playing back music via built in speakers. But have you ever seen an iPhone dock modeled after early 1900′s tech? The iPhone Horn Stand Amplifier does just as the name suggests — amplifies the audio coming from your iPhone 3G/3GS/4 with a horn.

The world of iPod docks and accessories is probably never ending. If there were one brave soul who decided to catalog it all, it would be a monumental undertaking that would more than likely be the death of him. Poor guy. There’s just so much junk out there. In order to keep your own product from not blending in, you have to be different. Is the Snowflake Speaker different enough?
