David Ho, director of marketing at Trends, says that the TA-10.2 will make the iPhone’s audio quality rival that of more traditional listening devices.  “The TA-10.2 “, he says, “provides better sound quality, larger storage capacity and a more user-friendly interface than most standard CD players.”
