The iCarta iPod Toilet Paper Holder

Remember the fireplace that comes with the built-in speaker and an optional iPod dock or the Grill MP3 dock? Well, they're good docking solutions, but the problem with these and normal dockers is that they're way too big to be installed in tight rooms like bathrooms, for instance. What you probably need is a small iPod dock, one that could let you listen to your favorite tracks even during your morning dump (sorry).

Here it is. The iCarta Toilet iPod Toilet Paper Holder. OK, what? A singing toilet paper holder with 4 built-in stereo speakers? It's not the first toilet paper holder-music player combo though. It's even moisture resistant, unlike the Toilet Paper Holder that comes with AM/FM Radio or the expensive Toto toilet sealt with built-in MP3. The device is an iPod dock, charger and player actually, but it also transforms into a toilet tissue dispenser (or the other way around). The arms that hold the toilet paper can be folded to give it a more "social" look ( just in case you want to pack it and carry the thing to your office toilet). The iCarta requires a nearby AC plug and is supposed to be mounted on the wall of your bathroom. Measuring 8" x 4 " x 5 ", the thing is not larger than other toilet paper holders.

The device is compatible with almost iPod models and sells for 69,95$. If you want it, you can get one from the Old-fashioned-values website. And if you do decide to buy the device, keep in mind that bad things could happen! I don't like saying this, but there is a small chance (God forbids!) that after taking the usual morning "iDump", you will mistakenly repaint your iPod in bronze (sorry again).
