“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,” Robert Ditcham reports for Gulfnews.
MacDailyNews Note: No image of the planned structure is provided.
“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,” Ditcham reports.
“The 23-storey building, which is scheduled to bring more than 200 units onto the market in 2009, was designed by Hong Kong-based architects James Law Cybertecture International,” Ditcham reports. “The tower will sit atop a docking station angled at six degrees to give the exact look.”

What’s next, a toilet paper dispenser with a built-in iPod dock? Not to be outdone, rumor has it that Microsoft plans to payoff NASA to build a Zune-inspired outhouse on Uranus.
Great Take MDN!!
the MDN take was almost Don Rickles-esque in its approach and as such is worthy of a comedic RIMSHOT!!
For the first time ever, despite the drinks consumed this eve (in Australia) I actually laughed out loud at MDN’s take at the end.
Good on ya!
There was no need for that – sniff – no need at all. Bastards.
Come away Bill. They’re not worth it.
I’ll wait for a picture.
Besides, we did sell a few today.
They make a toilet paper dispenser with and iPod dock? I want one.

great take, MDN. You can never go wrong with Uranus….
Does any know of a site that provides a graphcal display of units sold over time and dollars spent over time on Apple’s iPods and Microsoft’s Zune?

But those will almost certainly be returned on Dec 26th
I’m sure there are plenty of sewage treatment plants dreaming of remodeling their facilities to look like the Zune. They might have to get special EPA permits for the squirting treatment fountains.
maczealot,
I’ve seen it at my broker’s office. It looks like the left side of Mt. Everest standing on a parking lot.
I’ll bet it’ll have fast bus service too.

It had better have user selected elevator and lobby music at the very least. And backup batteries.
NASA knows that it is hard to put stuff on Uranus. But with Micorsofts know-how, they will be able to squirt it on there.

Reminds me of the joke: what do the starship enterprise and toilet paper have in common: They both fly around Uranus wiping out cling ons.
Sure, we live on the lovely pale blue dot.
But, what colour is Uranus?
‘Cuz the sun don’t shine there very much.
There’s likely to be Klingons near by (see above).
There’s always silent-but-deadly gas flares.
You should’t enter its back side without proper ‘Sheilds’.
And most don’t really care about Uranus.
Now, ‘the Venus’, that’s different!

Uh, no. It was designed by Apple, and copied by them.

Must be a 80GB model.

Oh Will Zune Thang ever get it?
“I went to the moon to get Zuned.
