Life-Sized Inflatable iPod Boombox Could Scare Kids

by Peter Mychalcewycz on April 9, 2008 at 10:30 AM


Quick, imagine everything that you love about your iPod. The small size, the style, the convenience -- all fantastic attributes right? Well, imagine a device that's exactly the opposite and you are left with the iBig Box.

The iBig Box is a very large inflatable boombox that has an iPod dock and felt control buttons. It is large and bulky and completely defeats the purpose of owning modern technology. (Sorry, but it's true.) Did we mention that it costs $60? There have been worse ideas, but $60?

There is a chance that people will buy this to impress and/or placate their small children, but we think hiring a clown to perform would have the same emotionally-scarring effect. Enjoy, and you're welcome.
