Yanko Design, will-known design company, announced its new concept – a music shower. The idea is following. Shower head includes waterproof MP3 player together with buttons to control the player and water. The shower’s holder is a speaker and charger in one.
This idea is nice at the first look. The music system seems pretty simple and not expensive. Who knows maybe after two-three years it won’t be possible to find ordinary shower 🙂

Featuring an integrated microphone, speaker, and matching doorbell unit, DoorLinX allows any MP3 audio file, including a recorded voice, to be used as a door chime and to have different sounds associated with different doors or points of entry (it’s needed to be integrated with DigiLinx audio/video distribution system).
The DoorLinX can be easily integrated with NetStreams TouchLinX touch screens or the KeyLinX KL200 (I hope it may work with others systems as well). In advanced, mix togehter DoorLinX and Panasonic surveillance camera you’ll get a video doorphone.
