The WALDok Will Now Dock Any iPod, Available for Preorder

Remember the WALDok? It sounded like the unholy cybernetic offspring of WALL-E and Iron

Man's creepy hypercephalic floating robot head nemesis, MODOK, but the WALDok was

actually a Kickstarter project for a gorgeously compact speaker dock for the iPod nano

capable of outputting some truly impressive sound while simultaneously juicing you up.

The only problems with the WALDok? First, it was iPod nano only… a design decision

which seemed to unnecessarily specify the WALDok into obscurity. Second, as a

Kickstarter project, it hadn't yet made enough money in $59 pledges to guarantee that

it would ever be made.

Luckily, over the weekend, both problems resolved themselves. Designer Hern Kim not

only redesigned the WALDok to accommodate other iPod models, but also surpassed the

$30,000 pledge total thanks to some publicity from Gizmodo and Wired, meaning that the

WALDok will soon be a very real product. $59 pledged at this point is as good as a pre

-order. Hooray!
