this system sounds like a good number of products here in the UK and yes by the sound of it, it's rather blind friendly.
most of these systems are either remote comtrolled and use the dock for iphone / ipod touch, etc. it should support the iPhone 5 when released in the future as these products cover from the 4s down to the earlier product ranges. best thing is to check on apple's store site as it may be sold there. ther options are to check with the manufacturer if your product is compatible. lew On 5 Dec 2011, at 17:10, Sarah Alawami wrote: > Oh wow.
