Topic LG's Washing Machine Has an iPod Dock

Paperboy

Of all the things that we've seen an iPod dock stuck onto, this washing machine is probably the worst. LG's patent for a "Home appliance with MP3 player" loads a dock for the iPod/Zune on the top along with speakers and what looks like a powerline networking adapter with a slot for a USB...

Don't have any idea why would LG want to do this. But who knows perhaps they have some idea behind? I think people will have to have their speaker turn to the max volume in order to cover up the noise.

This is one crazy idea. I hope they put something to dampen the vibrations. But wouldn't it be kind of difficult to lug the washer around to listen to your music?

I don't know about anyone else but I don't stick around my washer that much to really have any use for something like this. It is different though.

Humn, looks like LG has to come up with a pretty good idea on why people need something like this if they want a good sales. None of us here yet to fancy this washing machine yet.

So I guess no one folds their laundry by the washer and dryer?

I think women would have a different view on the use of this thing then men...not to be stereotypical or anything but, I mean come on....

So, do the clothes get cleaner if you play music for them while they wash? I doubt it. Personally, I can't see the sense in something like that.

If you are spending that much time on your laundry then it's my opiniopn that you are doing something wrong!

Well I am a women and I still wouldn't really see the need for one. Then again I don't fold my clothes in the laundry room all that much either.

This reminds me of a bass player I know who described bad drummers as sounding like "a sneaker in a drying machine."

So I guess the music would be best if the machine was off, so there would be no conflicting rhythms?
