GSM "Buzz" - Hi-fi sound thwarted by your phone...

If you use a GSM phone, or have ever been around someone who does, you're probably familiar with the interference they can cause on pretty much anything with a speaker - which can range from a little rhythmic buzzing to the sound of a swarm of bees in attack mode. Well finally, finally, there's a design that's specifically intended to avoid it - the Altec Lansing T612 is an iPhone speaker dock, so it makes perfect sense that it would be engineered to "not pick up intermittent noises emitted by mobile phones," in particular the music-playing GSM creature it's designed to dock. It's just a bit disappointing that in trying to bring us the best in hi-fi sound and connectivity, the engineering behind it all collided so poorly - and reassuring that designers are finally taking notice, and looking out for the users!
