iPod bedding set redefines 'touchably soft'

All you really need to do is ask yourself three things: Do I have a kid bed? Could my kid bed be so much cooler with an iPod touch duvet and pillowcase? Can I afford 349 Swedish kronor (about US $45)?

If you answered 'Yes! Yes! Uh... yes!' to this informal product survey, Swedish retailer Ellos has exactly what you need. Questions raised in the TUAW offices like "Is that a touch-based capacitive sleep-enabled UI?" and "I wonder if that surface is oleophobic?" may require firsthand testing.

The bedding set looks to be a pretty faithful iPod touch reproduction, with the exception of the misspelled legend for the Calendar icon. It's so faithful, in fact, that I wouldn't be surprised if the company heard from Apple's Swedish legal representation in short order, with a suggestion that this product be sent to sleep with the fishes.

OK, I grant you, this is no Tauntaun sleeping bag -- but if you're raising a household full of Apple geeks, it might be worth a look.

Thanks Bertil!

Probably a pun(?). From OS X Dictionary:

calender |ËˆkalÉ™ndÉ™r|
noun
a machine in which cloth or paper is pressed by rollers to glaze or smooth it.

I could never buy this with a spelling mistake. But a corrected and king size version would be nice.

Who in the world keeps the iTunes Store in their quick links at the bottom?

It's fitting that this only fits on a twin bed. If you get them it is guaranteed that you will be sleeping alone for a long, long time!

Very cute, but a bit too dorky for me!

doesnt the ipod touch have no grey/metalic strip at the bottom row of icons ? isnt that the iphone which has that ? perhaps this duvet cover has been jailbroken and winterboarded ;)

Shoot, my son just moved out of his kid bed and into an (Ikea, ironically) twin. Remind me why we feed him?

If there were an iPhone version I would definitely buy it, the whole empty black area in the bottom of the ipod is a turn off

well you never know...some places spell things differently in english

or maybe they wanted to make a mistake on it so that when Apple comes after them...it's not the same as the ipod because of the spelling...

there are tricks here and there for copyright law
