Rhyme Time Posted Thu, 17 Aug 2006

Who would design consumer electronic products around technological necessity when they could design them around clever bits of word play?

I came up with the idea for an "iPod Tripod" -- if you will, a "TriPod" -- and was thrilled to see that someone else had already (a) stumbled upon the same little rhyme and (b) followed through on the idea and was already selling a product!

The review I read seemed to indicate that the execution was not quite as good as the name. But then again, how could it be?

Here are some small shots from the movie:

www.hip2b2.com sell them too. They're nice but anything bigger than an ipod shuffle needs duct-tape and a small pot-plant to keep it upright.
