Here’s a cool stand with built-in speakers for holding your iPod. It’s the Chair Man by Brighton Net. The Chair Man’s arms hold your iPod in place and his feet are your speakers, and the iPod stand is compatible with all iPod and iPod Shuffle models as well as some other MP3 players.

The Chair Man iPod speakers and stand combo operates on AA batteries or the included AC adapter. This would be a fun gadget to add to your desk or your dashboard. You can even bend the arms and legs into any shape you want. The Chair Man iPod holder comes in three colors: blue, pink, and black. I found this iPod gadget at Bridgewell for $24.99.

Now here’s a gadget that any pool or Jacuzzi owner will love. These wireless floating speakers are an excellent idea for the ongoing dilemma of how to safely bring the tunes poolside. The speakers work via a small transmitter attached to your stereo, and have a 150 foot range.

This cool gadget is waterproof too, so there’s no need to worry about letting the speaker console float aimlessly as you swim and enjoy the music. You can even use them with your iPod or other MP3 player.

And who says these have to be used in a pool? They’ll work anywhere as long as they’re within 150 feet of the transmitter. Plop them in the Jacuuzi, out in the garden, or even in the bathtub! I found these waterproof wireless speakers at IWantOneofThose.Com for $71.00.
