If you haven't yet invested in an iPod dock for the kitchen, the kids at ADE (a German company that manufactures cooking equipment for commercial and home use) have something right up your alley. The Rihanna kitchen scale features an iPod dock, an LCD display, and a 2 watt speaker that sits demurely beneath glass weighing area. This bad boy will handle up to 11 pounds (graduated in .04 ounce steps). Look for it soon-ish for around $105. And no, it has nothing to do with the popular recording artist of the same name.
I didn't know Rihanna could cook.
Perfect for weighing crack cocaine while I listen to Lil Wayne. Word!
FLOATING TOMATOES FTW!!!!
"Hey man, what's going on??? My tomatoes are on the scale but it won't weigh!"
"That's because your iPhone rejected them."
(I'm a jerk =\)
Yo N900 I'm really happy for you, and imma let you finish.... but Joey Gladstone had the lamest jokes of all time....
OF ALL TIME!
Wouldn't the speaker throw off the scale? I mean, it's not working with much weight, and especially if the speaker is under the base, it would be mediocre at best
chyea............ just don't let chris brown near it
(im goin' to hell for that)
Don't worry, this Rhianna is industrial strength.
On the other hand, the tomatoes probably bruise easily...
I would trust this - Rihanna is known for being able to take quite a beating.
Screw the name, who the hell needs a scale with in iPod dock?
Or is it an iPod dock with a scale....?
Who needs a iPod dock? A standard 3.5mm would have been far cheaper and accsesible IMO.
More to the point, its not going to work very well as a scale. Who wants an ipod/iphone in their view and in their way while weighing.
Not to mention the speaker will cause vibration.
Who needs an iPod dock? An FM radio would be easier and cheaper, IMO.
"If you haven't yet invested in an iPod dock for the kitchen"
I didn't realize that iPod docks were investments.
Who needs a radio? I can just sing while I weigh food!
I thought it was a speaker that throws fruit at you for having poor taste in music..
This is just a waffle iron with a fax machine glued to it.
Wait.. so if you crank up the tunes does it affect the weight, hopping around on there?
I'm sure the scale isn't sensitive enough for that to make a different. More importantly, don't hate on the waffle iron/ fax machine--it's quite the hit at morning business meetings.
Man 1 - "Awwww yeah, now you can dock your iPod while you weigh the celery!!!"
Man 2 - "Sure, why not......"
WEIGHIN MY TOMATA EH EH EH EH EH
WEIGHIN MY TOMATA EH EH EH EH EH
wouldn't it be tomato -ato -ato eh eh eh?
Besides the obvious "Rihanna", I'm loving the other urban music *HINTS* sprinkled throughout the article --- "commercial", "bad boy", "steps", "105 (as in Power 105)"??? Joe, you are a genius!!!!!
I'm sorry, this is probably terribly inappropriate, but your post reads like you're recreationally on Adderall.
Again, nothing personal at all.
It's a good pill =).
What next? an organic dock that will be on my head?
Oh yeah, because we all know flour dust is just what a iPod socket needs.
Engadget, please buy the domain name iStuff.com and put all of your uninteresting Apple accessory updates there. Not here. Didn't come here to be up-to-date on the latest iStuff. But whatever, it's your site. Do what you like.
I think Chuck Norris has the rights to that domain.
Anyone else notice Rihanna (a woman) is producing a kitchen product in relation to music?
Sounds like someone is enjoying the kitchen.
Also, I dunno bout anyone else that cooks but not everything weighed is the cleaned / least watered down items in the world. If you use this I hope you enjoy your new iGrease
You have to be careful why weighing though - It might bitch slap you, punch you, bloody your nose and lip and throw you out of the kitchen if you question it about being with other kitchens.
DAMN...be careful while weighing...wish this had an edit button. :-(
Wrong appliance--I think you're referring to the Chris Brown toaster oven. It's easily quite heated and has rendered itself obsolete.
Why do I have a feeling there's going to be a lot of Bob Marley being blared out of this thing when it's actually being used by it's largest group of clientele...
Doesn't anybody read the whole article before they stick their foot in their mouth with asinine statements? "And no, it has nothing to do with the popular recording artist of the same name." I mean it was all of 5 sentences long.
Darn, I was hoping it was a scale that use the iphone as its display via the dock connector. That would be a heck of a lot easier than using the crappy 1-2 line LCD displays on most digital scales.
Just an observation, but do people even throw tomatoes at sukky performers anymore? What happened to America's slapstick sense of humor? Comedy seems to be only sarcasm nowadays......
American comedy is soooooo sarcastic. Whatever.
Ha - yeah - that was a brilliant observation! REAL clever! ;-) haha
know what makes speakers sound really good?
putting a piece of glass right in front of them.
yup.
know what makes scales really accurate? putting an electromagnet near it, and using that electromagnet to force air against the bottom of the scale.
Coming soon!
Zune bathroom Scale!
You guys totally crack me up... especially the guy who thinks nobody read that the name has nothing to do with the singer before posting their wonderfully sarcastic jokes!
Who shellacked those tomatoes?
Oddly enough I wanted to make sure that I spelled shellac correctly and I found it also means "Slang: To strike repeatedly and severely," but really this had nothing to do with Rihanna.
I was just talking about her shiny tomatoes.
0.04 ounce (1.13398093 grams) graduations, how are you supposed to weigh anything with that, cant even weigh an 8th of ganja
...crapgadget.
This is just stupid.
