Table of Sound is the world's biggest iPod dock

Table of Sound is the world\'s biggest iPod dock

Most people who own an iPod, also use some kind of docking audio system so to listen to their tunes at home. But why would you have a system that you need to put on a table, when the table itself can become the system?

That's the thinking behind the Table of Sound, which is essentially a nice big desk or dining room table, with speakers and an iPod dock built right in. Created by a design team called Wondering Boys, the Table of Sound can connect to your MP3 player wirelessly, through its dock, or using a regular mini jack, and has been chosen as a finalist in the Designboom Sound Innovation competition.

I think this is a really cool idea, but I'm still trying to figure out where the power for the speakers hooks up.

Well, I've never seen a spam message in spanish before.

I was also wondering how the speakers were powered. Maybe you have to get another table that has the batteries in it!

This thing is awsome!!! Everyone wants big sound without the big speakers taking up space and what better way to have that!!! This is a new version of the old console stereos from back in the day!!! I definately will own one once they're on the market. To answer the "power" question, some companies have micro amps that run on batteries or a.c. votage. They are very small and can even be mounted next to the speaker where they cannot be seen. I'm sure these guys got it all figured out!!
