A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
At least put a speaker on it so I can listen to music while I'm in the shower.
Wait, so do you use a nightlight when you take a shower? How does that work?
@Big Al
Ya, you should try it... the extra light will shock you. As a bonus, the nightlight is a little easier on the eyes if you use the bathroom in the middle of the night.
Try taking a shower with nothing but a night light on, its peaceful.
it's probably best suited for use in hotel rooms in situations where the plug is right by the bed.
Are you mad?
iPhone in a steamy bathroom.. water damage?
I'll be happy to show you all an example with a crap Nokia phone I have..
Honestly, I don't see the problem in it. It's definitely overpriced but it's simple and compact. It may not but be wireless but you'll get over it...
Actually though Engadget, did the monsters under the bed keep you up all night? You seem kinda cranky.
I agree. Engadget seems to be pretty biased against a lot of these really cool products lately. Focus less on what you think the readers want to hear, Engadget - we come here for your opinions.
Here's mine: that looks wicked cool. If I had an iPhone and $40 to spare, I'd be ordering one right now. That thing looks like it might even be able to store a charge for emergencies.
I think they've come here for that and the Asian models...perhaps that should be the real complaint with this product: where is the Asian hottie to peddle it? (Though, I really am here to get the opinions).
This qualifies as really cool?
This is dumb, ugly, expensive, and using marketing trickery to make you believe its the newer wireless power buzzword rather than just a charger without a cord. How is that cool?
This thing would be great to charge my phone on those night I crash at my girlfriends house.... Oh wait, I dont have a girlfriend... :(
$40?
When I read this, I burst out laughing because I suddenly thought of Engadget's article about the sweat detector watch where they superimposed "REALLY?" over the picture.
Wow, I've been waiting for something like this.
But 40 bucks? Wow.
They need to make a model that has only an LED for those who don't want to sleep with a nightlight. Or a model with no lights at all for folks that use their iPhone or iPod Touch as an alarm clock.
I like it. It'd be nice if all my rechargeable devices could be mounted flush against the wall without cords dangling.
Tape. If you can afford a $40 dock, surely you can scrounge up $1 for electrical tape...
Nice use of the word 'vomits', haven't heard that one in a while.
I've always wondered why Apple hasn't 'integrated' a dock in its laptops? A slide out dock coming out from the side would be simple to implement and would totally rock. I guess this will never happen even though i think its a brilliant idea as they are not going to give up their unibody case.
Now, and ipod dock on a pitbull... *that* will keep the monsters away.
I am gonna have to go with Gizmodo on this one and say it's pretty cool. Overpriced, but if I wanted a nightlight and was into charging my iphone in the bathroom this would be great.
But, why the hell would I charge my phone in the bathroom?
Does it come with Back-up Power? You know, when your House burns down and people like iEye need to save their all-important little wonder machine before being cooked alive and sent straight to hell for engadget trolling...
Your whining over $40? Have you ever seen what some of the Apple accessories go for? $40 is nothing in comparison. I'm not sure why they added nightlight but the overall idea is actually pretty sweet. I'd much rather have something like this than a "corded" model like those from Apple in which you have to use your original USB wire in conjunction with the wall charger.
I'm embarrassed for anybody that want to buy this.
Me too.
Can you give reasons other than your wish to offend people?
Probably because it is ridiculously overpriced, and pathetically tacky. I wouldn't pay a cent over $15 for this waste of plastic.
iphone dock = $9.99
+
Nightlight = $1.99
= $39.99....wait....what?
Throw in a glade air-freshener attachment and I'm sold!!!
Hey, if Apple's own products can be overpriced and still sell to all the Apple Cultists, why can't the accessories? Plus, ever been in a moderately priced hotel in Europe? When the only outlet is nowhere near a table or other surface, it's drop your phone on the floor or go with something like this that can support.
There's a button on it. I bet that turns off the light.
