tub Speaker system
When I first heard about the tub MP3 Speaker system I was hoping that it would, somehow, be a speaker that would float in your tub and pump out some sweet tunes (am I the only one that like to bath whilst rocking our to a little John Tesh?). Sadly, or rather much more realistically, it is just a tub looking speaker with three rubberized feet for stability.Brookstone claims that the design is 'just plain fun,' and while I'm not sure I agree at $50 the price isn't too bad. Plus, it'll work with any MP3 player, though why would you want to use anything other than an iPod?

You're not the only one who likes to listen to music in the bath. Unfortunately, I've had to ban my iPod from the bathroom due to previous mishaps... What I'd really like is a Bluetooth touchscreen iPod in a sealed case that water can't get into.

zeddy,
You don't have to buy them all, you know. But, having *choices*, so that we can each find the one best for our own situation...well, that's a good thing.
Why would you want to limit people's choices? If they want limited choices, they could buy a Zen. ;)

but it distresses me that crap like this takes up 60% of the floor space in electronic stores' Apple sections. one i visited yesterday had 2 tables full of questionable iPod junk and yet not a single working mac mini model, which i was attempting to check out.

I have seen the similar situation, however, not as severe. The apple store downtown and in the Woodfield mall has an excellent variety of ipod "junk", computers, and accessories. I think everyone needs this "junk" because it is fun! I agree with #3, if consumers do not have options, they will go somewhere else, God forbid! ;)

The problem with a lot of these iPod accessories is that 50% (just a figure, don't nail me on that) is junk that either doesn't work properly (certainly on the speaker department) or breaks after way too soon. I think choice is a good thing, but quality is better. I've seen it a lot of times. We had like 10 of these small speaker systems, but when half of them are crap, people can only choose between 5 really and than it just turns confusing. There are a lot of things out there that shouldn't be just because they are a waste of time and material. I'm hoping this tub isn't one of them.
