Altec Lansing unveiled the first "Works with iPhone" speaker system at Digital Experience!, Sunday night's event that coincided with CES. They call it the "T162," a name that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. In addition to shielding the speakers from GSM interference, the unit will pause the music when you get a call. It will sell for $199.
