Companies are still trying to find ways to make the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maghub-3) iPad as convenient and all-consuming a device as possible, and that now includes converting it into a mini home theater with the iLuv iMM514 ArtStation Pro docking station. Since one of the best features of the iPad is to use it as a substitute TV, this device really makes doing so much more enjoyable.

The iPad essentially attaches to a swiveling attachment that allows it to be switched between a portrait or landscape position perfect for watching movies or browsing the Internet. The iLuv iMM514 ArtStation Pro's relatively large base is equipped with a speaker accompanied by a wireless remote. Interestingly enough, it is also compatible with the [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-tv-2021-concept) and [iPod Touch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ppsspp-ios).
