Washing Machine with MP3 Player
November 15th, 2007
Korea’s LG Electronics recently filed for a patent on a combination home appliance and MP3 player:
“A home appliance with an MP3 player comprising: the MP3 player adapted for storing contents; and a washing device for washing or drying clothes, the washing device being connectable with the MP3 player and having a communication function with the MP3 player to play back the contents stored in the MP3 player.”
Yes, it comes with built-in speakers. What’s next? A microwave with a built-in PDA? A hard water softener with VOIP?

I can’t picture anyone hanging around their home washing machine waiting for the load to finish. Which is the only reason I can see to include an MP3 player in a washer.
If I want to listen to music while the wash runs, I’ll go into a different (quieter) room and turn on the radio.
