Yes, we're with you: we're getting pretty tired of the legions of iPod speaker docks, so we promise not to waste your time with any of them unless they a) have a sassy name, or b) look really, really cool. The iBlueTube more than qualifies for the latter, which is a good thing since the designers obviously threw their hands up when going for the former. A pair of LEDs light up the vacuum tubes on each side, bathing your listening room in a cool blue glow. Besides giving your home that extra dash of pretension you were looking for, the iBlueTube also lets you transfer music and videos to your iPod when it's docked. The perfect accessory for your next wine tasting goes on sale in Japan next month for an appropriately opulent but still ludicrous $566. — Peter Pachal
