FUNKit robotic iPod DJ dock headed for the States
We've marvelled at this little beauty from afar, but now it appears KNG America is bringing the FUNKit Animated Speaker System to the States this October, at that same $100 pricepoint we'd been hearing. The folks at iLounge managed to get their hands on one a little bit early, and they seem plenty entertained. Along with his wax scratching prowess, the FUNKit announces your tracks with appropriately lame DJ lines like "here's another FUNKit exclusive," which is sure to prove entertaining for 30-45 seconds before you kick the thing across the room. A hundie well spent, in our book. Be sure to peep the read link for lots more action shots.
Annoy your friends with FUNKit
I know what you're thinking, "How can I make my iPod as annoying to other people as Billy Bass?" The answer is here. The FUNKit DJ by KNG America is a speaker system for your iPod. Just plug in your 'Pod and click play, and your music is piped through the FUNKit's internal speakers. But that's not all. It also "scratches" its turntables, flashes its LEDs and shouts phrases like "Drop the Beat!" and, my personal favorite, "Here's another FUNKit exclusive!"It's quite possible that someone will throw your iPod out a window with this thing, so you have been warned. KNG America intends to ship the FUNKit this fall. No pricing information was available. [Via Infinite Loop]
