Works with iPhone is becoming defacto… slowly but surely.

Not only is the GSM buzzing noise a pain in the but to users… but the nag screens on an iPhone are pretty annoying too.

Interesting bit that BBY has made it mandatory in-store meaning it’s as good as a de facto standard in short order…

Retailers, too, are focusing more on iPhone-certified models, suppliers told TWICE. In fact, top retailers, including Best Buy, are requiring Works with iPhone certification in the docking systems they sell, suppliers said.

Some other good data bits in there about the various brands differentiating in the blackhole between $150 and $300 retail price points.  Mentions a Klipsch high-end bed-side piece, the STS-based Altec Lansing Octiv Air (see Sony S-AirPlay wireless iPod thing), and iHome’s ballsy iP1.
