iLuv is shipping its i1255 desktop media system, which Crave first saw at CES in January (video here). This home theater box combines a DVD player, iPod dock, and 5.1 surround sound in a compact unit that can be remote-controlled by a navigation system on the TV screen.

It's a few months behind its original March schedule, but that hardly qualifies as a disaster in the ever-tardy gadget universe. More noteworthy is its $150 price, which is $20 more than its first retail estimate.
