11-Foot Tall iPod Dock Puts Your Device Out of Reach  The award
for ridiculous iPod docks clearly belongs to Jarre Technologies'
11-foot tall AreoDreamOne. Let's forget for a moment that you
have an 11-foot speaker in your house that looks like a heat
lamp outside of a restaurant. The dock requires you to climb a
built-in ladder to plug in your iOS device.  Need to check an
incoming email or answer a call? No problem! Just shimmy up the
metal ladder to check your iPhone. Ridiculous.  The 870-pound
dock pushes 10,000 watts of sound to its five speakers and
includes a USB, 1/4-inch, and two XLR inputs to connect the
other audio components in your home to this monstrosity.
There's currently a six month waiting list, and you'll get your
choice of black, white, or chrome if you're willing to fork over
the $550,000. It seems pricey, but don't forget, you also get a
ladder perfect for changing lightbulbs. Value! [Jarre via
