    Maxell MXSP-1000 Speaker + iPod Dock: So Slim, It Doubles As A Concealed Weapon

    Yes, every iPod dock accomplishes the same task (charge the iPod, output audio/video signals to other equipment, etc.) but at least the MXP-1000 from Maxell looks different. I imagine that, given its long, pipe-like shape, it'd make a great bludgeon, too. You can even hang it on a wall like a plasma/LCD TV. It's called progress, people.

    Does the MXP-1000 ($85, in Japan starting on November 25) do anything else wild and totally in your face? Not really. It's pretty much a book-by-its-cover thing here: it looks cool, so it must be. We're fairly vain creatures here, so it works. – Nicholas Deleon
