It may not be ensconced in Swarovski crystals like some of its other fridges, but Gorenje seems to think it has a winner on its hands with its new Made for iPod fridge, which it says will conquer contemporary kitchens just as "iPod has conquered the world." Apparently designed specifically for what Gorenje describes as the "the cult iPod touch," the fridge of course boasts the usual iPod dock, as well as pair of built-in speakers of unspecified kitchen-shaking ability. Gorenje also takes things one step further with its iGorenje web portal, which is, you guessed it, optimized for the iPhone or iPod touch. It'll not only give you the usual recipes and other information, but control over other household appliances that are connected via WiFi, although Gorenje is quick to point out that's still only in a test version. No word on a price or release date just, but given Gorenje's penchant for pricey appliances, you can be sure it won't come cheap.

No.
What will they use next? a 'Made for iPod' microwave? Television? Toaster? Can Opener? Stove? George Foreman Grill?
How about the 'Made for iPod' Hummer?
Don't the apple freaks that would buy something like this only eat at bistros and coffee houses?
"My god, it's full of stars!".
It has an almost monolithic appearance.
This would be pretty useful if the fridge could keep track of its inventory, and then that data would be stored on your ipod. Then when you go to the grocery store you would already have a list of stuff that you might want to restock. Of course, having the fridge know whats inside of it could be a bit difficult.
Austin, that's a pretty cool idea. I actually already keep a grocery list on my PDA; it'd be nice to have it update automatically.
That's just sad, even Steve Jobs wouldn't want one of those.
Yes, but can it refrigerate Cr... oh never mind.
iPod in 2012:
iCare - "New iPod with hair and facial features. You can brush it and do it's make-up."
iGouge - "Never have a knife everytime you want to backstab? The new iGouge has a retractable blade! Comes with a cleaning cloth!"
iCommand - "Parents never let you do ANYTHING! Well with iCommand's new, subtle, HypnoFreqs™, they can never deny you the luxuries you deserve."
iMuse - "Too lazy to think for yourself anymore? Let iMuse's TrendFeeder™ tell you what you do and do not like."
iBlood - "Tired of your boring red blood? iBlood is better for your health and comes in white or black!"
I'm tired of it all...
As a contemporary artist I use all kinds of materials to fulfil my creative visions.
So why not an I-Pod in a fridge? lol.
