LG patents washing machine that can play MP3s

hahahaha. Incredible.

Introducing the newest washing machine by LG - "Which now plays MP3, because everythings gotta play MP3s. Except your MP3 player! Which now plays MP4s because everyone knows MP3s are a dead technology."
- Sarge, Red vs Blue "Go Go Gadget Video".

i dont know about anyone else, but when i do laundry i allways time it, do something productive, then come back when its done, same with the dryer lol

this would be cool for laudromats, but how many laundromats have you been to that even have "newer" model machines lol
none

What? Just use your home stereo system. Can't imagine buying a washing machine with an mp3 add-on when we could just use our 250 watt home stereo instead.

this is just plain stupid. almost as bad as the Fridge with a T.V

Worse, I'd say. At least some people are around their fridges long enough to take in a sitcom while cooking or eating a meal. I'm never in the laundry room long enough to hear even a single song, much less an entire playlist.

W...T..F...?????????

Yea, it takes no more than a minute to throw some clothes in the wash...Brilliant

The patent basically describes a washing machine with a headphone jack and probably a tinny speaker. Bravo. Way to blow a few grand on a pointless patent.

Well this is what we call washing music. Too bad it comes from a bad manufacturer like LG.

would you even be abl to hear it with the grumbling of the washing machine

Cleantastic!
My washing-machine just died and I was thinking of getting an
MP3-Player only yesterday so this fits the bill perfectly :-D

I'll order one as soon as I get these damn frogs back in their box!

Just great! Now maybe my kids will be interested in learning how to do the laundry! Maybe next they should put one on lawnmowers, the vaccum, the bathrooms, the kitchen, ETC...

This is what i consider a good dumb idea. Its good for those few whom sit there while their clothes wash. Dumb because a wash machine rattles and shake and make all sorts of noises while doing its thing. The other dumb thing is like someone already said its a damn wash machine how can you even hear the track you like unless you got good speakers. Really just dont make much sense in the long run. Plus plenty of people have portable mp3 players then on top of that you through in the all the DRM and other forms of crap that will make it a pain to use unless you use other measures. Oh and yeah again as i stated in another thread LG is the KIA of home entertainment. You just can not trust a bad product maker.

First it was the Refrigerator with Internet Access and now this!!! I like technology, but sometimes it;s just plain stupid.

If anything, it's just a half-assed job by LG. Why give us just a taste of what laundry should be? Why not replace the door of a front-loading machine with a television? In fact, building Surface into the top would be pretty snazzy! ....and while they're at it, can I get Pong for my dryer?

How the hell am I going to carry a washing machine around with me? How many batteries will it need? Does it come with a belt clip or a lanyard?
sorry feeling a bit brain dead today.

The Internet refrigerator. Now the MP3 washing machine. LOL

The only good idea i heard with the last year or so with home appliances was having a lcd on it that was touch screen and displayed when your food was getting old. It had more features but all this crap they talking now was not on that list.

I'm thinking of inventing an mp3 beer bottle. It'll have a wee wave machine in the bottom. Every time you take a swig it recharges. The memory will be about 32 megs. That should hold about 4 MP3 which is more than enough to finish. No usb port as you won't use the bottle again anyway and after a few you won't care anyway.

Ooh, good plan. While you're at it, make a stein with a sensor in it so that the barkeep knows to grab a refill once you're getting low. You'll be rich! Rich, I say!
