N-NET's Juke Tower brings the bathtime fun

Sure, we've seen waterproof MP3 players a time or two (or more) before, but N-NET's latest is designed to not only withstand the brutal rain blasts typically dolled out in your average shower, but to look fairly dashing all the while. Of course, Aquagate / Stereo H20 owners need not apply, but for the vast majority of us rocking vanilla (read: speaker-less) showers, this looks like an excellent way to bring your tunes into the downpour. The glossy Juke Tower sports an all-white design, gets its shape from the likes of shampoo bottles, touts a down-firing speaker, and can handle up to 2GB worth of USB storage. Additionally, users will find an on-tube screen that displays the track number or time (no luck with ID3 tags), a wireless remote, and around 12-hours of battery life from a trio of AA cells. As expected, such a sexy, resilient device won't exactly run you cheap, as the Juke Tower (full shot after the break) will demand ¥10,500 ($88) when it lands later this month.

This would take even more explaining at the ER when you come in to have it dislodged from your rectum. "Slipped in the shower, indeed". I hate that look those snooty ER doctors give you.

I'm not sure whether I should be disturbed that you thought that, or relieved that you said it first. ;)

Looks pretty good, though I would rather something that can stream stuff through a wireless network, maybe one day.

I can't see any mention of a remote control on that website though, are you sure that it has a remote?
