Good thing I spotted this adorable iPod dock by <a href="http://www.vesta-life.com/" target="_blank">Vestalife</a> that is named for exactly what it resembles - a ladybug! Its two wings collapse when it's not in use for easy portability, and they expand when you're ready to rock. </p> <p><span class="inline left"><a href="/gallery/209146" ></a></span></p> <p>There are a few solid, bright colors, but I really like the <a href="http://www.vesta-life.com/products/ladybug.html" target="_blank">Ladybug</a> that's hiding a design inside its "wings." I can't wait to toss this in my bag for a weekend away or set it on my desk to gaze at . . . I mean, listen to!</p> <p><div class='gallery_thumbs ' ><div class=title><!-- gallery teaser --><a class=photo-count href='/gallery/209146'>View 4 Photos ›</a><!-- /gallery teaser --></div><ul></ul></div></p> http://www.geeksugar.com/962393#comment iPod dock 2008 Macworld vestalife Thu, 17 Jan 2008 09:03:50 -0800 GeekSugar http://www.geeksugar.com/962393 http://www.geeksugar.com/2097557 <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/2097557"><img width=160 height=160 src='http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/15111/39_2008/pottery-barn-butterfly-ipod.large.jpg'></div></a><p>On first consideration, I thought these <a href="http://www.pbteen.com/products/p3545/index.cfm?pkey=celectronics-gadgets-instruments&amp;bnrid=3783501&amp;cm_ven=Affiliates&amp;cm_cat=ShopStyle&amp;%26cm_pla=Feed&amp;cm_ite=ShopStyle" target="_blank">Butterfly iPod Docks</a> from PBTeen were too young for me, but then I remembered the <a href="http://www.geeksugar.com/962393" >Vestalife Ladybug Dock</a>, whose soaring popularity is so high because of its girlie, young design. </p> <p><span class="inline left"></span></p> <p>These docks are cute and fun, but what's not cute, young, or fun, is the $100 price tag! Pottery Barn needs to learn to not start their novelty peripherals at such a high price point, because I was this close. . . thisclose! to getting this for somebody's birthday. </p> <p>What do you think?</p> <!-- no strip poll --><form action="/2097557" method="post" id="epoll_view_voting"> <div><div class="poll"> <div class="vote-form"> <div class="choices"><div class="form-item"> <label>Butterfly iPod Dock: Love It or Leave It?</label> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-0-2097557" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-0-2097557" name="edit[choice]" value="0-2097557" class="form-radio" /> Love it!</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-1-2097557" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-1-2097557" name="edit[choice]" value="1-2097557" class="form-radio" /> Leave it!</label> </div> <div class="form-item"> <label for="id-2-2097557" class="option"><input type="radio" id="id-2-2097557" name="edit[choice]" value="2-2097557" class="form-radio" /> I think it's _________.
