Successful presentation of the Made for iPod fridge freezer prototypeIf you thought a product that allows you to dock your iPod to a freezer would never come to market, Gorenje has proven you wrong. Gorenje recently signed a contract with Apple to allow the use of their devices in refrigerators. The company calls the Apple device, “the cult iPod touch.“ With that in mind, the features are more amazing than the idea may sound. The fridge features a docking station which can charge the iPod, play music and video via built-in speakers, and connect to the internet, if wifi is available in the kitchen (or wherever you place you fridge). Gorenje recently launched a site full of cooking and other household tasks. With them having the “Made for iPod” logo, it means that the product has been designed specifically for the iPod, following performance standards by Apple. The portal will be optimized for the iPhone and iPod touch, and is full of easy meals to make in your kitchen.
