August 3, 2006 - There aren't that many jokes left to make about the saturation of iPod accessories. From laser points, flashlights, robotic dogs and fish, and even can-openers, there isn't much out there that hasn't been jacked into a 'Pod. While the rumors leaking out of Apple promise big things at WWDC next week, we've just seen something that's sure to blow anything Jobs has got up his sleeve, or up somewhere else (you get this joke shortly), right out of the water.

The new OhMiBod from Suki takes iPod integration to a whole new level. The device jacks into the iPod's audio-out for purposes of frequency vibration calibrated to the user's sound track. The device interprets music while it is being played and adjusts internal rpm, transmitting the good vibes to users in a highly-tactile and penetrating manner.

The product is the first of its kind to fully embrace audio-modulated stimulation, and a community of DJs has already risen to the challenge of composing customized tracks and playlists to fully exploit the immersive quality the OhMiBod can add to the musical experience. Casual users are also able to upload their own playlists if they want to share tracks they find particularly arousing or deeply penetrating (emotionally, of course).

While the OhMiBod is specifically designed to work with the iPod, it can function with any audio source with a standard mini-jack output, be it a CD player, PSP, or home stereo system. We can see an entirely new meaning of force-feedback arriving in the gaming scene thanks to the OhMiBod, or perhaps just a new means of encouraging your significant other to start playing Battle Field 2.

Sure, it'll wake you up, but will you actually get out of bed?


The OhMiBod is available now at the OhMiBod website for a fitting $69.00. A variety of accessories are available, including some especially striking iPod garter-holsters.

*ahem* Um, yeah.
