Karaoke machines don't do anything but look clunky and add to the aura of pity surrounding them, but the new Memorex SingStand puts your oh-so-cool iPod into a great looking mic stand.
The stand also adds some cool effects, like reverb, and the capability of removing original vocals. A second mic allows those "together" songs to reduce the need for massive amounts of alcohol before approaching the mic.
