If you’re like most humans, you engage in the fairly normal routine of bathing. How much or how long varies from person to person, but a simple dip beneath the H20 molecules is something that benefits you as well as everyone else that has to smell/see you. One fun pastime of bath/shower time is singing a tune. Why does bathing give us the urge to sing? I’m not quite sure, though I’m not a scientist so I wouldn’t have the slightest clue in where to start such an experiment.

Typically gadgets/electronics and water don’t go together at all. When they do meet, disaster is guaranteed to happen. Listening to music whilst in the shower can be done by turning up the radio in another room, or placing a radio in the bathroom, away from any water. But there’s an even easier “cuter” way. The iDuck Wireless Waterproof Speaker.

The iDuck isn’t the first wireless water proof speaker. It is the first such speaker to gain the acceptance of your children though. I mean it’s cool. I kind of want one. Operating the speaker is as easy as you would expect. Simply plug in your audio source to the egg-looking dongle and get ready to enjoy wet, wireless tunes. According to the seller, CuteBitz.com, the iDuck can venture up to 10 meters from the mother duck…um…egg before audio cuts out. Be ready to invest in batteries though because the iDuck consumes 7 AA’s total — 4 for the duck and 3 for the egg. Yikes. It’s a wonder Mr. Quakers/iDuck floats!

Does £27.95 (~$47 USD) sound like too much for a noisy plastic duck who eats batteries and longs to be your friend? At near $50 it does require a bit of thinking. Anyone with kids sold?
