A speaker that fits in next to the shampoo

As more people seem determined to spend their entire lives in the bathroom, gadget makers are responding in kind with products that fit in with the decor of tile and plumbing.

The latest example is a waterproof iPod speaker from a Taiwanese company called Nova. Gizmodo says it can either sit on a shelf or hang from the shower head in a way that "suggests a playful life attitude," to quote the company.

But if you're partial to baths instead of showers, you may need one more thing to go with it: a splashproof remote.

Didn't think it could get any worse...

As if iPod music doesn't sound bad enough when played on anything other than earbuds, they have to make the sound worse by mucking it up with the sound of rushing water. Personally, I would rather listen to nothing. Where are the speakers for great sounding digital music from services like MusicGiants??
