Summer is here and most people are leaving for the seaside, to enjoy some sun tanning and partying on the beach. And as we all know, a party's not a party without an iPod, but the famous device from Apple could find itself in a pretty nasty spot if it's not carefully protected against water or sand. There are quite a lot of docking stations manufactured especially for this purpose, and one of the coolest such items is the AquaDock developed by Mark Feldstein & Associates.Inc.

This very special docking station has a very cool looking titanium casing, which offers a high degree of protection for the iPod/MP3 player contained within, and is suitable for any environment, whether it's the beach, pool side or even the office. Nevertheless, that's not all this device has to offer. Thus, it is also a high-quality stereo system, so you can also use it for listening to your favorite music.

Another great advantage of this interesting device are its dimensions, of 14.6 cm x 5 cm x 22.86 cm, which allows the user to take it just about anywhere, as it doesn't really occupy quite a lot of space. The AquaDock works with 4 AA batteries, and could actually prevent a lot of unwanted accidents, besides drawing the attention at the beach party.
