How much!!?!? For a chunk of plastic?



Looking at prices of cheap syncing methods for my iPod.
Bloody ridiculous!
Absolutely appalling prices.

Just to plug it in, and sit it down.
Even the sync cables are stupidly priced.

*sigh*
What to do..

I agree. The price you have to pay for a hunk of plastic is kind of sad.

Jay, your local £1 shop will probably have some ipod cables. As for docks, they do get expensive.

What's that made of? I thought Lego at first, but the plastic is the wrong colours.

They interlock sideways and diagonally, too, so are nice and useful for all kinds of things.

If you link them sideways AND regular way, together, they kinda super-hold each other, so they're really sturdy.

I wouldn't trust fiddly cables and things from eBay.
Solid devices, sure, but not a cable.

I just whipped up a dock with some legos and a cable. Kind of fun, actually.

Speaking of over-priced plastics, Legos have always been expensive...

Yeah, but if you've already got some it's super-handy! Unlike the iPod dock that has only one single use.
