If you were to make your Mom an iPod dock in art class when you were a kid – you would probably end up with something like this.
The guys at miConnection have made some of the most unique, and dare I say some of the ugliest iPod docks on the market. Pieces range from the “Funky Frog” pictured above all the way to the Makin’ Bacon Pig and the “Spinnin” dock pictured after the jump.
There are a lot of iPod docking stations out there, but those devices actually “do something” – and I can’t tell you how boring that is. Gimme a iPod station that doesn’t do a damn thing anyday.
Actually, the Load Thing is more of a decorative basket that stylishly cradles your iPod, cellphone, DS, etc while it is being charged.
It looks as though the Load Thing would do a decent job of getting devices and their cords out of the way, and it does have a pretty cool look. You can even customize it with one of three color inserts.
Price: 9.90 EUR ($13 US)

If you can not imagine even going through a shower without listening to your favorite MP3 player, I think I have found the answer.
