iPod oddities
The iPod has a slot at the bottom, usually this is used to connect up to the USB or firewire cable which connects to your computer. As this transfers both information and power by using this for iPod accessories whilst most iPod accessories are pretty cool and serve some function, the Nike + iPod concept for example, where with a sensor in you nike shoes allows you to sync you running information on to your iPod. Naturally virtually all iPod mixers leverage of the dock slot on the iPod, to extract information that is then precessed and allows you to DJ with the iPod. OK so this site is about iPod DJing, but I could resist showing you some of the mad ideas people have come up with for the iPod.
iPod Toilet Paper Dispenser
for those of you music lovers (if you’re a DJ you probably are), now you can have an iPod dock on your toilet roll holder, WHY, are you that much of an iPod addict you even need your iPod in the bathroom when your takin a dump?
iPod Panties
I don’t know about you, but when you’re in the mood, i seriously doubt that an iPod factors in to the concept of coitus, clearly The Sexy Society an online lingerie retailer clearly thing theres a need to have lingerie that is able to hold an iPod…cause there’s clearly an iPod fetish market that needs catering for.
iPod Jeans
Whilst this is still a pretty crappy idea, there is some merit to this iPod accessory idea, at least its the most practical of the lot. that being said, this levi monstrositysuffers from over design, and takes iPod addiction to the next level, with pockets and lanyards specially to hold the iPod and its controller, really its an overpriced iPod concept, I mean whats wrong with just having the iPod in your pocket?
iPod Chairs
Here’s another psudo-brilliant iPod idea, this one might actually be good for DJs at first glance, but in reality its an overpriced short term concept, add speakers and an iPod dock to a chair…right, and I’m going to rely on that rather than my full surround sound music system which I could have afforded if I hadn’t been a numpty and bought the iPod chair.
these are a mere sample of the iPod accessories that really are crap, if you want a glimpse of a few more, check out this article. Here you’ll find information on iPod Bras, iDisguise, iBoxers, iLoad iPod Loader, iPod Breathalyzer, and iPod Vibrator for Two
