Kitchen Technology

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

An iPod Dock For The Kitchen

— March 30, 2007 — Pop Culture
I do not believe that the kitchen is the best place to have a mp3 player of this type, but Philips is not thinking the same. If you are an iPod follower, now you can live with it at the kitchen too. Your best dishes will be inspirited for your best music collection or preferred videos. It's price will be around 400 dollars.

Implications - If you have always dreamed of being able to play music in your kitchen, you'll be relieved to see that this handy tool allows you to do just that. The Philips DCD778 Docking Entertainment System boasts a beastly 8.5-inch widescreen LCD display and can bust out audio and video entertainment from an iPod, a DVD, an MP3 or a CD with ease.

With an estimated price of approximately $400, this is one gadget that will make cooking both fun and enjoyable. Furthermore, if you're more interested in function over entertainment, the device also boasts a cooking timer, a clock and a wireless remote. For $400 dollars, it's hard to beat that kind of futuristic convenience. Well done Philips...well done indeed!
