The BBC is getting into audio. Or at least, it’s licensing out two of its biggest brands to be used as speakers, created by Speakal, a company known for making cutesy speaker bases and iPod docks, such as the iPig, iBoo, and the flower shaped iPom.
The first: the helmet worn by The Stig on Top Gear, which will hold an iPhone or iPod touch (or maybe any audio device) nestled up top. It has an integrated subwoofer, digital amp, and 25W output.
And of course, there’s a police call box, circa 1963. Better known as the TARDIS, the blue box is typically seen as a (not-very-well) camouflaged time machine used by a former renegade Time Lord, now the last of his people, who likes to randomly pick up women from Earth and take them on adventures. This version doesn’t appear to have a dock, but will instead work with any media player that supports Bluetooth playback. No word yet on the price. You’ll have to supply your own traveling companion.
