Shake Your Umbrella for a Random Song

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the so-that's-what-a-'groove-thing'-actually-is dept.

thhamm writes "If you happen to see people wildly shaking and dancing with their white umbrellas in the street, don't call them crazy just yet. They might just be controlling their iPod with an iBrella: "The iBrella is a special umbrella that acts as an iPod interface. One can control the iPod just by his physical interactions with the iBrella." Theres a video of it in action, too. The ideal gadget to use while driving your motorized couch maybe?"

    Apple has cool, clean designs. Microsoft has messy crazy jibberish. I'd call this a Microsoft product.
