Some iPod accessories seem to be rather odd, idiotic or just downright pointless (what's the deal with the iPod sock). But this is absolutly rediculous. And in my opinion the silliest thing about this is it recharges the battery. Honestly if you're going to take a dump and reading material isn't enough and you just must have your iPod playing music while you're crapping, what kind of a dump are you making that would require you to recharge the battery while you're sitting on the toilet?

Aside from using this as a means to test the theory of the brown noise, I really don't see a use for this. Some people say that the iPod craze has become to much, but I think the problem is not the iPod, but rather the iPod accessories.

I think I'll just stick with the TuneBuckle while it's hanging around my feet in the bathroom.

/sarcasm

Is there no place I can claim sanctuary from these omnipresent doodads o' Hell?

Yes that is alittle much, but listening to music while showering can be fun sometimes. But thats what portable sterios are for right? Right?

And iPod socks? What the hell?

I can see how this might be useful in a BATHroom (ie when you are having a bath). It makes the install easy in a small space.

I saw a guy on TV who built his mp3 player into an old art-deco stand up radio. The whole thing lit up and the old knobs were actually functional.

Now THAT is a cool accessory.

Huh?
Fair enough; listen to your ipod while you're on the toilet. But what's wrong with using the headphones like usual? Why would someone need ipod speakers for the toilet?

Sounds like an onion article that got taken the wrong way, or some Daily Mail writer that came across an image from a photoshop contest.

But it checks out. Company's website here:
http://www.atechflash.com/
product in question here:
http://www.atechflash.com/products-icarta.html


My guess is that Atech Flash don't actually expect anyone to buy this product - except maybe as a rather expensive gag present. Instead they're using this as a rather effective method of free publicity so they can improve the sales of their more conventional iPod accessories.

This could be useful in your personal bathroom, I was picturing it in my head in stalls in a public bathroom, which was a much funnier idea. Can you imagine the myriad of music coming from each individual stall?!?! Anywho, i'm more inclined to just put one of those alarm clock ipod docks in the bathroom for that purpose, than i'd be to buy this.

Should've called it the iCrap

I hated this part of the article the most. Grrr I'll just stop before I pull the soapbox out.

title of this thread should be iPod Toilet Paper Roll Holder.

I expected to see a musical toilet that played MP3s.

I'm disappointed.

Yeah, but imagine how uncomfortable the bass rumble would be after a while.

sapiens

Nah, the bass would help get things moving!


Regarding the OP, while I can see the benefit of a shower ipod dock, I wouldn't want my MP3 player anywhere near my toilet paper. Yuck!

ngdawg

Maybe for you...I'd hardly ever leave the bathroom

Anyway, back on topic I suppose. I can see how it would be great while you were in the shower, getting ready etc; but I don't need one because I just play my main stereo loud enough to hear it when I'm in there

CSflim

Unless of course you are clumsy enough to drop your iPod into the toilet and then flush it away

Yea, you know.. there's one important thing missing from that that a DJ needs to be called a DJ.. and thats DISKS. there's no disks with that, you're just pushing buttons. and that makes you a BJ and not a DJ.
