Low End Mac is running an article that gives us a taste of some iPod products that never made it out of beta testing and focus groups.
Without further ado:
- iPod wristwatch: This iPod comes with a built-in wrist band and has one more menu item: Wristwatch Display.
- iPhone iPod: This variant of the iPhone has a docking station in it for the iPod nano.
- StereoPods: Two iPods, miniaturized to the size of hearing aids, synchronized via Bluetooth to play one channel (each) for about seventeen seconds.
- iPodPlasma: A 110-inch plasma screen TV with a built-in, non-removable iPod.
- StevePod: Steve Jobs’ iPod with 2 TB storage capacity with a small video projector for a screen; available 3Q 2017.
- SegPod: A Segway with a built-in iPod.
- Podway: An iPod with a built-in Segway.
- PeaPod: An iPod delivered in a cute floral arrangement.
- aPlod: An iPod for actors.
- Operation Enduring iPod: a sandproof, bulletproof, satellite enabled iPod. Cost: $23 million.
- embeddiPod: Subcutaneous iPod. You heard it here first.
- Thomas the Tank Pod: Thomas needs to deliver a musical interlude to Sir Topham Hatt! Can he figure out the menus in time?

I don’t know about you, but I think the embeddiPod sounds glorious!
