Rock the Laundry
We thought we'd seen MP3 players crammed into just about everything you could possibly think of: TVs, cars, phones, GPS devices, etc.But LG is upping the ante. The company that's previously combined an HDTV with a refrigerator has now filed a new patent for ... drum roll, please ... a washing machine MP3 player. Yes, you read that correctly: The proposed new device is a washing machine rigged with speakers and a device for storing and playing back MP3 files.
The MP3 player is removable so you can take it back and forth to your PC for loading instead of dragging the whole washer around every time you want to add songs. It then plugs into a special dock on top of the unit for blasting your favorite jams while you de-skankify your wardrobe.
Of course, putting a load in the washer or transferring it to the dryer can usually be done a lot quicker than it takes to listen to a three and half minute pop tune. But hey, maybe your laundry room is a really cool place to hang out.
As for whether or not this product will ever see the light of day, who knows? It's just a patent -- and a particularly dumb one if you ask us.
