Merry Boxing Day, everyone. I hope Christmas Day was a joy - and even if it wasn't, this may lighten the load: apparently there's going to be a tower block in Dubai which is based on the look of the iPod.
The plan, to be revealed early next year, is to have it sitting in a "dock" and leaning backwards. And while my first impression was that this was a joke, the architects - James Law - seem to be plugging it, too. From Gulf News:
Real estate developer Omniyat Properties is planning to launch projects worth more than Dh3 billion in 2007, starting with a tower inspired by Apple's iPod MP3 player.
The company will announce at least two residential projects and one commercial development and will open its account in February with the innovative iPad residential tower in Business Bay.
[...]
The tower will sit atop a docking station angled at six degrees to give the exact look.
The "iPad", eh? Wonder what Steve Jobs is going to think of that one. Or was this an announcement from his forthcoming keynote speech at Macworld in January that slipped out early?
