Meet JVC's iPhone speaker dock that doubles as a nightstand - available in black and white

There is no shortage of innovative speaker docks for any of the leading smartphones now, but Apple's iPhone boasts the biggest collection so far, polished over the few years of its existence.

Those speaker dock/charging cradle/alarm clock combos, however, have one unpleasant side effect - they take up a lot of the precious space on your nightstand, needed to place all those plates with half-eaten sandwiches and orange peels from a late night "CSI"-watching spree.

Here comes the iPhone speaker dock that is a nightstand.

Created by a relative genius in Japan, JVC's N-BX3 furniture piece is 44 pounds in weight, populated with 30-watt SRS StudioSound HD speakers kit to create the necessary ambience or startle the cat lying on top of it, whichever suits your mood at the time.

The iPhone nightstand comes in piano black or white to match your respective color of Apple's finest, and, at roughly $525, it actually costs less than your unsubsidized iPhone 4S.
