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.

3G-iphone-navigation-mount

[Frankenstein Black @ Jun 2nd 2008 10:40AM]

Really, and its so awesome in its simplicity!

[Kique @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:02AM]

Isn't it cute? ñ_ñ

[j_g_puff @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:19AM]

No. It's like a bad TV, but worse.

[shamrock593 @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:06AM]

This so cute!

[shamrock593 @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:18AM]

Dammit! This *is* so cute.

[lawyer bird @ Jun 2nd 2008 1:04PM]

you so azn

[PiZ @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:11AM]

Brilliant!!

[Douglas Bailey @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:14AM]

I love it.

[Jaque-o @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:15AM]

*Touches the iPod Touch*

....

*iPod Touch falls backwards*

Kinda takes the Touch out of iPod Touch i think

[Ayman @ Jun 2nd 2008 8:37AM]

I just thought of a terrible one

iMac's Baby brother iMac touch
touches like your dad used to :P

[David @ Jun 2nd 2008 1:44PM]

You're doing it wrong.

[Splunkster @ Jun 2nd 2008 12:24PM]

iPod Touches don't have pressure sensitive touch screens. Just making contact is enough, there's no need to put any amount of pressure on the screen. Falling backward should not be a problem.

[kakapo @ Jun 2nd 2008 12:36PM]

It only weighs 55 grams - so there may be a consideration - but double stick tape or a small barbell should hold it in place or a gaffers sand bag...
:)

[info @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:24AM]

What about the wires??

[Magnulus @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:26AM]

Such cuteness! Oh my gawrsh.
Now, if only there was an external keyboard for the iPod Touch, it'd be like a proper baby-iMac!

[hussein E Rawat @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:37AM]

bloody brilliant! this would look so cool next to my imac.

[Eh @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:43AM]

thats actually clever, since its functional

[matt @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:47AM]

Hmm, N800 with a bluetooth keyboard would do the same thing.

[AceMcLoud @ Jun 2nd 2008 10:29AM]

What's a N800? Never heard of it.

[xValentine @ Jun 2nd 2008 12:26PM]

You got low ranked for a reason, right there.

[Clarence @ Jun 2nd 2008 8:42AM]

i'm surprised how no one thought of this earlier, hmm... I'll have one pls.

[Ray @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:54AM]

wow thats the nicest stand ive ever seen for a pmp

[Tim @ Jun 2nd 2008 5:58AM]

'Remove the back Part of your finger'
as in:
'Remove the back part of your finger and push the process, such as in the press.'
brilliant, why didn't I think of that!
Also:
'I feel part of the main body of aluminum is used'
I don't really know what to say...

[omnicloud @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:13AM]

Now if only the real iMac can rotate like that.

[peter @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:17AM]

agreed

[Darkroom @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:41AM]

A) useless
B) the corners would hit the desk

[OnlyShawn @ Jun 2nd 2008 8:05AM]

A) what arrogance. Do you ever do page layouts? My $2500 wacom 21 monitor rotates, and comes off the stand. You're right, though...it's completely useless.
B) note the "if only". Obviously it would hit the desk, this is a hope, not a direction.

[Sime @ Jun 2nd 2008 8:31AM]

if only an iMac had a touchscreen like that...

[Mike Talmadge @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:35AM]

Looks like our "patented" PED3 stand. Time to send another letter.

[will @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:47AM]

Yeah, except, this stand isn't ugly and cheap looking like your
stand. Plus, there's also the small, insignificant detail that they
hardly look alike at all. If anyones going to send them a letter over
this product, it should be Apple.

Oh- and, this is for the iPod Touch, not the iPhone. They are different
products and have different measurements. Shouldn't you know that?
You only make stands for them.

[J @ Jun 2nd 2008 7:38AM]

Agreed.

There's nothing similar between the two - and I agree with the above poster that your design looks absolutely awful, whilst this is simple, fun and even seems to serve more of a purpose that your crap contraption.

You'll also overlook the fact that it's for a different product too, right?

[electronicat @ Jun 2nd 2008 2:10PM]

Yeah, I have to agree. Your product is pretty fugly. And I never would have known about it if you hadn't posted here.

[G @ Jun 2nd 2008 3:10PM]

Uh...no it doesn't. Your stand is to "car" as Kia is to car: it has four wheels. THIS stand has sweet design...not to be overlooked in an Apple-based product. Not only does it have to work, it has to look this cool.

[lance @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:37AM]

this baby eats nano noodles for sure
http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/01/japanese-scientists-craft-planets-smallest-ramen-bowl/
If that isn't just a nanomac I don't know what is!

This is really cool.

[Lorre @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:40AM]

Man... now I want to buy an iPod Touch and then buy this thing just to see how cool it'd look next to my Mac...

[Stanium @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:44AM]

Apple did a favor to accessories makers by creating an army of its products fans. Now they can easily sell anything that has something to do with iPod or iPhone or whatever.

[ronnie jones @ Jun 2nd 2008 7:23AM]

[Tim @ Jun 2nd 2008 7:27AM]

Still really ugly

[Will @ Jun 2nd 2008 9:49PM]

kinda reminds me of doc ock

haha...get it...dock ock...

[Shawin @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:56AM]

Waouwww!!! That's the sweetest iPod Touch stand evah! I wish there was an iPhone version. That's so much nicer than any dock will ever be.

[Gregg @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:57AM]

I would love to see a version for the iPhone. This may be the best looking option for mounting in cars

[Mike Talmadge @ Jun 2nd 2008 6:58AM]

Just google iPhone Stand

[aaronparker @ Jun 2nd 2008 7:18AM]

Hey Mike, really.

That stand you keep referring to you that you apparently sell? It's really ugly.

Thanks for playing though!

[Gregg @ Jun 2nd 2008 7:32AM]

your stand is nothing like this

[Mixed Ape @ Jun 2nd 2008 7:36AM]

Yours is ugly, really ugly.

Its like Microsoft made an iPhone stand.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design

Better luck next time.


(I'm buying one of these ASAP though)

[Jaque-o @ Jun 2nd 2008 8:01AM]

Lol, I thought you guys were all bashing mike for fun, turns out the stand is indeed really ugly xD

[brad @ Jun 2nd 2008 10:27AM]

lol! "design" wiki = epic burn.

[Will @ Jun 2nd 2008 9:49PM]

i keep thinking your stand's going to hurt me
