iPod Mini Custom Installation In A Ford Explorer

Posted by timothy on from the all-the-trimmings dept.

Johnny Mozzarella writes "MacWorld has a nice write-up on Jesse Melchior, an amateur special effects artist and filmmaker, who used his skills to create a custom installation that is worthy of an iPod mini. The article outlines the materials he used such as latex, plaster and dental acrylic to create an integrated dock complete with blue LEDs and Apple logo in his Ford Explorer."

    If you're going to do something this fancy, why hamstring yourself with the 4GB mini?

    I'd argue that if you're going to spend $500 on a 40GB Ipod that you would be better off just buying a cheap computer, a very large hard drive, and a touch screen LCD off of ebay, installing your favorite OS, and running it as a frontend to your entire music library. It might cost a little more then $500, but sure beats an ipod mini. Unless of course you don't have that kind of money to spend, and an iPod mini makes sense. <grins />
