iRidiculousness

Am I the only one sick of seeing and PodThat? I understand the desire to capitalize on the iPod's success, but I think these companies could be slightly more creative in their naming schemes. Ranting aside, I had to give a shout out to Corgi's iCar, namely because if any male member of my family over 40 owned an iPod or any other MP3 player, he'd be drooling over these speakers. Of course, he'd also assert that Corgi ought to offer more options than the Cadillac Escalade and the Nissan 240SX models. The fancy speakers work with any audio device that has a standard headphone jack, but they also come preloaded with their own tunes. Of course, the real draw of the iCar is the hydraulic action. The car, which is actually mounted atop the speaker unit, bounces up and down and rocks in all directions to the music. Naturally, each car also includes a full light kit, with LEDs flashing in the undercarriage, the engine, the wheel wells, and the trunk area. And, oh yes, the rims spin. But try not to be too hypnotized by all this action--at $34.99, you can't expect killer sound from the speakers themselves.
