And my useless gadget of the year award goes to…

The year 2009 isn’t even one quarter of the way over and I’ve already found my most useless gadget of the year award recipient. It’s an enormously huge MP3 dock whose primary selling point is to allow you to insert your own tiny iPod into a docking station and create an MP3 player with speakers/radio/CD that takes up half your house. Don’t most people use MP3 players so they can get RID of CD and Radio? Seriously, whose paying $799.90 (reduced) for a big honking MP3 dock like this? Kudos to BJ’s Wholesale for using the words “full size” in their product description.
Crosley CR12-2 (also sold at Amazon)

Is that the one they sell at Target? My boys love it because the lights change colors.
Otherwise…good call. )

The people who buy this are designing to a theme most likely – 50's diner, something like that – in their basement or rec room. Kinda makes sense in that context.

I spotted this in BJ's Wholesale — they seems to make a smaller table top version. This one came about up to my shoulders.
