Yeah, that’s right. I called it a joker, and that’s exactly what it is. I won’t even pretend to understand the idea behind the iLamp (for goodness sakes, at least come up with a new name), but whatever it is, it isn’t pretty.

Not only do we have more than enough iPod accessories, but there are far more competent speakers and earphones that will do the job just fine. And although the iLamp is equipped with 3.5mm audio jack to universally support for music player, it’s seriously biased towards Apple’s iPod with a snuggly fit and a downright obvious name. Since I also have a SanDisk Sansa, I’m seriously offended by this.

There’s more to this than a mere lamp. Maybe I wouldn’t get too worked up (actually, I still would) if there was only one iLamp, but no, Adesso had to release an entire product line with six different lamps to show their admiration for the iPod.

Enough with all the iPod accessories and their ridiculous names that start with ‘i’. I tell you, Apple is solely responsible for me hating the alphabet ‘i’.

All six lamps are available immediately for $89. Talk about competing within your own product line. Genius!
