iPod Coffee Table Holds Your Drink, Doesn't Play Your Tunes
Although this Italian-made coffee table won't sync up with your iTunes, it will store all your computer magazines and hide your remotes and controllers in its lower compartment. What else would you expect? I'm getting a distinct iPod Mini feel from these gadget-inspired coffee tables, but artist and designer Mirko Ginepro says he can custom make your iFurniture to match the iPod you're rocking in your pocket.

Hailing from Austria, UrbanTool brings us a huge selection of iPod and iPhone savvy bags and cases that not only have some serious street style, but are functional as well.

Spotted: More Tech in Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" Video
A big thank you to reader Baby Girl, who pointed out in the comments of my latest Guess the Gadget quiz that the gadget in question was featured in Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video.
I noticed the Heartbeats earbuds in the video right away, but it wasn't until I took a closer look that I noticed the Phillipe Starck-designed iPod dock in the video's opening scene. There's even a close-up of Gaga herself turning it on, so I guess now we know how it works!
5 Fun and Quirky iPod Docks
As much as I love the latest, greatest high-tech gadgets and accessories, I also have a soft spot for fun and unique products. Here are five of the quirkiest iPod docks I've seen lately. Whether you love them or think they're too over-the-top for your taste, you have to admit, they're definitely fun.
Vestalife Brings Its Award-Winning Firefly to CES
A few years ago, Vestalife debuted its Ladybug iPod speaker doc at Macworld, and we all kind of fell in love with its design and shape. This year at CES, Vestalife is back with its new Firefly iPod/iPhone dock, and it's just as stylish, but without all the patterned fuss.
The Firefly ($130) comes in red, black, and silver, and has a soft-touch finish that you won't want to take your hands off of.
A Take-Anywhere iPod and iPhone Charger
Perfect for anyone who's constantly on-the-go and doesn't want to be bothered carrying two separate chargers, the 2-in-1 Wall and Car Charger from InCase ($33) will charge your iPod or iPhone in the car via a traditional car charger, but features a built-in wall socket, too.
As someone who too frequently leaves chargers behind in hotel rooms and rental cars, having just one to worry about (and knowing that one charger was vital to my iPhone's usage) would help keep forgetfulness at bay.

Skullcandy Brings the Noise With the Pipe iPod Speaker Dock
When I first saw the Skullcandy iPod Speaker Dock ($70) at Target, I questioned how good the quality could be from something so compact. But after testing it out myself, I take back all the doubt I had previously cast upon it.
Coming with a battery-powered remote and charging cable, the Skullcandy Pipe is perfect for the bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, or even the living room if you're looking for a full sound in a smaller space.
Woody MP3 Speaker: Love It or Leave It?
Look! Another item to satisfy my vintage geek obsession: the Woody MP3 Speaker and Radio ($30). This retro-style battery-operated speaker for your MP3 player is shaped like a vintage wooden radio.
