iClooly iPod touch stand hopes to be an iMac when it grows up

There you have it, RockRidgeSound's iClooly stand for your iPod touch. The ¥4,980 (about $47) accessory features a 90-degree pivot joint, dock-connector cut-out, and headphone extension cable in the box. The perfect little buddy for your iMac skipper when these set sail on June 7th.

Gotta admit, that is pretty darn clever.

Yes there seems to be a major design flaw. As soon as you touch it to navigate the UI it will tip over backwards. Whats the point of that? Unless you have to stick it to your desk.

I'm guessing it's more for watching movies or that kind of thing.

Time to move on.

Sounds good. After you, sir...

That's so cute! I want one for my iPhone.

Where do I get this?

Now make one of these for my car! Maybe I can just slap this on the dashboard somehow...

I was thinking the exact same thing.

As soon as one of these comes out for iPhone I'll be buying one. yay for iMac mini.

I think I've fallen in love already :)

Looks amazing! On another note, that iPod looks different to me than the currently shipping model, as the dock connector is offset. And the back looks like the back of the iMac. (Unless that is part of the connector)

The slot is longer like that to accommodate the headphone jack -- but this is also a computer rendering so there are some particulars that aren't perfect.

I imagine that it needs a sticky rubber base to work .. good design I think.

I actually got the Naja King from a company called Thought Out.

I like how its completely shapeable, and works great in many different situations, because you can change the "height" at which your iPhone sits. I have happily used it on airplanes and by the pool as well as on my desk to watch all sorts of movies on my iPhone.

Thanks Nilay!

Glad someone understand reality versus concepts.

Wow,
that is a neat addon for your iTouch. I'm seeing all kinds of neat addons for the iPhone & iTouch lately, such the iControlPad and the Mic from the Touchmods team. It would be funny if someone made a parody of someone actually using that as a computer.

[MizuInOz Posted Jun 2nd 2008 10:55AM]

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm... me like! No pricing on the website - so this is only a concept. I am sure it will go into production. Too cool not to.

I think that they could make this so the base is either heavy enough or cantilevered to be able to be "touched". I like that is can also be tilted.

I would definitely buy this and if they make one for an iPhone, I'd buy that, too.

They also produce a iPod vacuum tube amplifier for ¥ 79,800 ($756.+ USD) that looks pretty nice. here's the url:

By the way - you will probably be able to order it through Amazon dot com Japan. It looks like they offer their other products there.

I deal with Amazon japan quite a bit and they are very good!

Amazing in it's simple and efective design. Great idea!

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 2nd 2008 4:26PM]

2 words: FREAKIN SWEET!!! I'm sure it would work for the iphone as well, right?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 3rd 2008 5:57AM]

Im looking for this long time ago. Hope i can get one soon :)

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 12th 2008 2:17PM]

I really like this, I hope it works with iPhone too. BTW, that crazy PED3 stand some people are linking to is fugly. Why would you buy a beautiful iPod and put it on an ugly stand, sort of defeats the purpose. Either get this one or get no stand are my choices.
