Medicinal iDevice Docks

The Pill Speaker Dock for the iPod Nano is Musical Medicine

— December 30, 2011 — Art & Design
Just when you thought you had seen iDevice dock designs of all kinds, along comes the Pill speaker dock. The Pill speaker dock is a new iPod Nano dock designed in the shape of a pill.

The Pill speaker dock only works with the sixth generation iPod Nano and continues the pattern of quirky and creative docks created for Apple's small and square MP3 player. The Pill speaker dock is small in size, measuring in at 5" long and 2" wide. These uber-tiny dimensions may very well make the Pill the smallest iDevice speaker dock of all time. Regardless of its place in the record books, the Pill is still pretty awesome. Its portability and unique design are a winning combination. Gavio (the Pill's maker) hasn't announced release details, but the dock is said to be priced at around 8 dollars.
