Hard-Boiled Hardware: The iPod Eggcup
Posted in: Apple, household, ipod, Today's Chili
Ho ho ho! This little plastic iPod-shaped eggcup is called the eiPOTT. The Ei part means egg in German. The Pott part you can guess. It’s actually a rather appropriate shape for an eggcup: The clickwheel holds the egg and the recessed “screen” takes either a generous dose of salt or the cracked remains of the bashed-in shell.
What’s more, while this looks like yet another concept design, it’s actually a real, shipping product, and as even Apple can’t really claim that anyone would mistake this for a real media-player, it’s likely to remain on sale. At €7.50 ($10.60), it even carries a genuinely high, Apple-style price-tag.
A challenge: The first person to hack one of these into a real MP3 player wins a Gadget Lab Pat on the Back™.
