It seems the most unlikely products want to be iPod-compatible. That’s how powerful the Apple iPod brand has become: it’s now a selling point for companies wanting a little boost in their sales.

Here are just some of the examples of products that have made it a point to please the MP3 player giant:

Pause: iPod-Compatible Bed

The Pause by Design Mobel is the world’s first bed that lets you play your iPod with it. They also call it the “world’s most comfortable iPod Dock”.

iQ: iPod-Compatible Piano System

The iQ by PianoDisc is a system that lets your piano play the melody of the song playing on the iPod. (It can also play songs from CDs/DVDs or iTunes, record songs you play from the piano, and integrate with a home theater system.)

GIPod200: iPod-Compatible Grill

The GIPod200 by George Foreman is an indoor/outdoor electric grill and roaster that plays music from your iPod, too.

iCarta: iPod-Compatible Tissue Holder

The iCarta Stereo Dock for iPod with Bath Tissue Holder by Aetch Flash Technology lets you listen to your iPod while relieving yourself. It even has a logo that proudly says “made for iPod”.

I actually like the Lomme and The Concerto Table because they look great and were born from a great idea or two. The iPod support is just a bonus!

    That just shows how everybody loves music. :)

    iPod is such a great innovation (hence it became so famous in such a short time) that it made mp3 players, walkmans, etc obsolete.

    I like the iQ: iPod compatible Piano, seems very useful for a pianist. Although personally, some of the iPod compatible inventions up there are too… weird.

    Yes, and the iPod influenced other products to mimic its look. When people do that, you it’s gotta be good!

    The iQ is interesting to have. Though I hope this doesn’t shoo people away from taking piano lessons. :P

    As much as Apple hit the nail on the head with the Ipod, I’d still much rather have the Creative Zen Vision M that I’ve been on about for AGES. It is a better product with more support - however Creative just didn’t get the marketing and product right quickly enough - so everyone in this sector now is fighting a losing battle.
