George Foreman intros iPod-ready grill

Entering one of the last few areas untouched by portable music players, George Foreman has unveiled the iGrill. Using the relative safety of its electric barbecue, the stand-up grill has a 10-watt speaker set that broadcasts music from a portable music player while the main 200 sq. in. grill cooks food indoors or outside. The iGrill is labeled as iPod ready courtesy of a USB port but is said to work with most any digital audio device.

The unique grill is already available from online stores and retails for $150. [via Uncrate]

Survey: iPhone will be a 'monster'...

Apple's forthcoming cellular handset, internet browser, and widescreen iPod dubbed 'iPhone' which the company unveiled in January is likely to explode onto the scene, according to a new survey. ChangeWave Research conducted a study of tech-savvy professionals which points to high demand for the device, with about one in 10 respondents (or 9 percent) saying they are likely to purchase the iPhone once it becomes available. Another 7 percent said they will likely purchase the device as a gift for someone else. "That's huge," ChangeWave founder Tobin Smith said. "This is going to be a monster." The survey points to a far faster adoption rate than the industry average for consumer electronics products, and Smith suspects that Apple will exceed its sales goals if the iPhone's performance lives up to consumer expectations.
