When Legos and iPods mate

(Credit: 10x10)

You know a toy has reached rarefied status when dishwashers are designed specifically to clean it, an honor that's been bestowed upon the almighty Lego. And now that the little plastic bricks have reached a point of ubiquity matched by the iPod, it seems only fitting that the two cultural icons combine forces.

South Korea's 10x10 is offering just that, in the form of what looks like a Lego that's really an iPod dock. It even has "some scrawny little speakers built in," according to Technabob--just don't expect concert-quality sound, especially for $16. We think Steve and Woz would approve.

The plural of Lego is Lego

I know it's a bit nitpicky, but the Danes have spoken...

its the other way round

It is not at all the case that "now that the little plastic bricks have reached a point of ubiquity matched by the iPod" but that the iPod has reached a point of ubiquity matched by the little plastic bricks"... tut tut

Well...I see the trademark police have been here

Surprised you haven't hit up on some of the other sites posting stories featuring this silly device. Frankly, it's a little [i]hard[/i] to get excited about [i]any[/i] of this.

I don't suppose Mega Blocks got themselves into a twitter over the fact that [i]their[/i] name was never mentioned in this thread before now.
