Sharp's iPod Dock is Triangular, Black, Fugly
Posted by Addy Dugdale at 11:09 PM on November 14, 2007
Sharp's DK-AP2 iPod dock looks like the result of a quick bunk-up between Darth Vader and a vacuum cleaner (laugh all you want, but I bet the nights are long and lonely when you're Dark Lord of the Sith). Compatible with just about every iPod ever made (including the new nanos) as well as other MP3 players, it's comes with a credit card-sized remote control and costs around $165. It's also available in white, meaning that any Princess Leia wannabes with Stockholm Syndrome should consider getting one. [Crave at CNET.co.uk via New Launches]

I have to say that this is the most formal mention of the word 'fugly' that I have encountered. Thank you Addy.

Actually what did Darth do to quell his urges?
Were there any space Monicas?

Day-amn! That's about as ugly as the HD Lunar Surface video posted this morning!

Heeey, Addy's back!
You didn't bring HIM back with you, did you?
Anyway, if that triangular plastic thing dosn't do anything then ditch it. It's an affectation.

That is an odd design.
I'm curious where the iPod goes... it'd be sweet if the triangular portion lifted up vertically automatically so you could put your iPod in, and then close back down on it, clamping it into place.
Granted, you couldn't see the screen of the iPod, but details, details, details.
