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?
