Since the iPod dock market is just getting bigger and bigger, it stands to reason that iPod docks have to be more interesting with better features. Hence the introduction of the iTube, one of the grooviest iPod docks out on the market today.

As you can see, the iTube looks like something that Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader would fight each other with. It is actually a glass tube filled with water and lit with colored bulbs. Many gadget sites call it “a 21st-century version of the Lava Lamp”, and I can’t help but agree.

However, the Lava Lamps of that psychedelic bygone era were never iPod speakers capable of 360-degree acoustic sound. The user also never had the option of controlling the light patterns and bubbles.

These light pattern and bubble settings can be controlled via remote control. According to a YouTube clip, one setting is labeled “Candy”, and another “Tylenol”. I am assuming that Tylenol is the setting for a headache. There is another one called “Viagra”, and I suppose I don’t have to explain the occasion for that. The iTube also has an aromatherapy function for a more holistic experience.

You should be able to get it at the Aquallusion site for about $249.00.
