Multipurpose Music Players

iPod Multi Dock is a Stack of Speaker Innovation

— July 10, 2009 — Tech
Now I’d just like to say on record that I have always wanted to be able to charge or listen to my iPod with extra speakers, a night light and an air cleanser (WHAT!?).

Yes, the iPod Multi is a building block-styled dock that allows you to customize your musical arrangement in order to suit your listening needs. The dock comes in little puck-like components (each one has a different feature) that can be stacked on top of one another in any order.

The amount of ‘pucks’ you can have is completely unlimited (I assume after a certain number the machine will just explode). So there you go, the iPod Multi Dock is your fast track to good listening, safe sleeping and clean breathing.

3. Modular Entertainment Devices - The trend of designing modular devices that allow users to add and combine different components to create their own unique entertainment systems.
Industry Implications
