Cuddle up to your iPod Pillow--and listen
ThinkGeek.com, vendor of things freaky, strange and just cool, has a huggable, squeezable, squishy iPod-shaped pillow for sale for twenty bucks--or at least it will as soon as they restock. Before you run away, saying to yourself that you have enough huggable squeezable squishy iPod-shaped pillows in your life, consider the fact that this pillow can actually play music from its internal speaker. Hook it up to your iPod (or other portable media player) or play back the built-in FM radio. (FM Radio!? It's like having your own Zune!!) What's more, the large, plush buttons on the pillow actually work. Which brings the pillow to a new level of just plain weird. If there exists a subtribe of the infamous Furries that specialize in technology, this would make the perfect holiday present.
As for me, I'm trying to convince myself to pick one up because I know my three-year-old would just go wild about it.
When I think of battery powered speakers for the iPod I usually
picture a white plastic molded dock-type accessory, but apparently there is a market for cuddlier options. One such
example is Brookstone's iPillow Portable MP3 Speakers (pictured here with a Creative MP3 player but compatible via mini
jack with any MP3 player). This device takes six D batteries which probably means it can pump quite some volume in that
huggable housing. Be careful not to use the iPillow in an iPillow fight because the mesh pocket doesn't offer much
padding for that iPod of yours!
