The handy little dispenser has an iPod slot on top. It comes complete with two USB ports and works with all iPods with dock connectors.

The iCarta--which will ship July 15 and can currently be ordered via phone or e-mail through Atech--also works as a recharger, finally making it possible to charge up and, er, download at the same time.

Four high-performance, moisture-resistant speakers make the iCarta durable enough to withstand bathroom emergencies induced by even the spiciest of foods.

When nature calls, simply respond by plugging your MP3 player into the $99.95 iCarta. Easy-to-use controls allow for one-handed navigation, ensuring you never have to listen to Shakira, when the potty break is really calling for Nelly.

Ahhhh...relief!
