Oh man this artist was just on House!
It's the three test drugs he was taking! It was the test druuuugs!
....wow
win.
It was the hairball! The hairball!
drug trials + hairball = fail
His girlfriend was hot.
Also, your comment = win.
FAIL
waste of $
The persistence of memory is a vision found once and imitated by many.
Very win.
I'm surprised this got passed Apples legal team, if it's fully functioning isn't that copyright infringement? Or is "Art" safe from that?
joke's on him, he'll need Apple once the battery runs out...
Yeah. It's not exactly going to take sales away from them, is it?
I have no idea how they made a curvy wierd screen.
Bad days for Apple.... First, an AirPort Express copy by CNet Technologies, then the TOSHIBA E105 that looks exactly like a MacBook, and now the WowPod !!!
to Liam
I think there is normal screen inside and other part is made by software.
@Liam
It looks like there's just a square screen behind the warbled plastic. I'm more interested in how they got the click wheel working.
Readt it at TUAW yesterday... Why cant people just use the Apple iPod...? You dont need to wall-mount a WowPod in your bedroom to listen to some music !!!
it's ART, idiot. it doesn't serve a purpose. NO ONE is gonna mount this in their bedroom.
What is this? 4th Gen? Please.
Well, maybe if I can swap out those headphones and use my own.
Well it has a iPod Classic (6th Gen) interface.
Nice showerheads
I bet steve jobs has those in his bathroom... with a large water proof ipod-like interface on the wall for quick access to his music, movies, book, wall mounted dildos, tv shows, and anything else he might need at hand.
Seems interesting enough to me. A piece that reflects an iconic symbol of today's society with a variation by the artists (waviness) that leaves the piece open to interpretation. I like it.
LOL! Loser ^_^ Art is all crap. Face it.
No mention of Salvador Dali?
... was my comment too esoteric?
Man...that'd take a lot of Swarovski crystals to cover....
Comment of the day!
i would buy one of these if it wasn't all wavy.
"Dude, I told you not to leave the giant iPod in the car in the middle of the day like that...didn't you read the manufacturers warning?
I'm pretty sure the overheating battery caused that :)
Maybe the hot sun induced it to overheat..
so speakers are in those buds huh? cool. would have been cooler if the thing wasn't warped. that makes it art because it's warped though right?
no, art is open to interpretation; this piece is not to my aesthetic tastes but is interesting nonetheless
I should not have looked at this right before bed. This is going to give me nightmares.
...wowPod? I was thinking more appropriately... whyPod
How does the clickwheel work? Does this thing need the user to be on some "special medicine" to operate it?
Very cool :)
Thing gives me the creeps. WHO FUNDS THESE PEOPLE?!
