Apple Japan Announces/Pulls iPotty Dock

Posted by CmdrTaco on Friday April 1, 2005 @11:44AM from the but-i-wanted-one dept.

Suhas writes "Early Friday morning, the Japanese web site of Apple Computer briefly hosted pages depicting an previously unannounced iPod peripheral called "iPotty" (JPY 104,970, approx. $1000), a beige-and-white electric toilet seat featuring an integrated iPod dock on its right side. Presumably intended only for the domestic Japanese marketplace, iPotty promises to deliver music playback and an "optional scent eliminator" to drown out embarrassing bathroom sounds and smells. Availability is listed at 1-3 weeks, indicating an imminent release."

The true humor in this article is that Japanese toilets don't have seats.
