Gorenje has unveiled the first “made for iPod” refrigerator in the world during IFA 2008. It is actually an ordinary fridge with an iPod dock that can recharge the player and play music on the fridge built-in speakers. Gorenje has joined with Apple to use their technology in Gorenje refrigerators. The fridge can also control other household appliances that are connected via Wi-Fi. No word on a price or release date so far. However, you can be sure the fridge won’t come cheap. [Switched]

Forget Mordor, this ring comes from the genius labs of Victor Soto, and while it doesn’t make you the ruler of Middle Earth it does give you absolute command over your iPod, iPhone, or any Apple media device. It comes with a bright OLED status display and a touch-sensitive function strip. The battery is good for 2 days and it comes with a perfect-fit charging cradle. Sauron will not be very happy about this.
The iRosary is a conceptual design by Tino Dobra that connects the Apple iPod to headphones via a cross rosary. The position of the bead can be measured and heard as audio beads on a sensitive range of the cable. Unfortunately, the iRosary is just a concept.
The most important distinguishing feature of the iPod, the white earphones cable, becomes a string of beads on which only one bead is now found. This bead can be shifted. The position of the bead can be measured and heard as audio beads on a sensitive range of the cable. Due to technical possibilities, the new rosary can help a person to learn the prayer; the right mysteries are inserted automatically and there are various modes for choosing the degree of difficulty.
