Back in the day when I had a QTek 9100, I had one of these:

OK, it was pretty cr*p, and not very stylish, but it did allow me to put my phone upright on my desktop and make handsfree speaker phone calls, whilst still syncing via USB to my desktop PC. It even had a forward-mounted mic!
You know what I gonna ask..... is there anything like this for the iPhone 3g please? I've searched extensively and I can't find anything like it for the iPhone. I can't beeleeeve that some enterprising accessory manufacturer hasn't produced something like this (Helloo China, come in please..), they'd sell 1,000s of 'em.
I know the existing Apple Sync Cradle (little white thing) can do this, but there's no amplification and mic pickup is channeled through a slit along the bottom front of the cradle, so the sound quality is pretty bad using the 3G's Speakerphone function. Besides, which I would like to listen to some music
through some decent speakers.
The quest continues.... Anyone know of something similar for the iPhone 3G?
Here's the requirements list:
iPhone 3g dock connector cradle (with phone at comfortable angle).
Decent Stereo Speakers with amp.
Front mounted mic for handsfree calls.
Sync/Charge cable connection.
Black & Stylish (don't stint).
