The Hohrizontal 51 shelf is different from all the other wall shelves that you have seen in the past, simply considering that one sports an iPod dock, thanks to the genius of German manufacturers Finite Elemente. Not only can you dock and charge your iPod on that shelf, it additionally comes equipped with a couple of 25W speakers as well as built-in pseudo surround sound capability, with the shelf good for up to 25kg of items. We would avoid placing liquids near it though, since you can’t quite tell when will an accident happen. Other connectivity features include an audio-in jack and composite video-out. It isn’t too cheap though at £430 a pop, but that is for certain a guaranteed conversation starter.

It doesn’t take a genius to guess that Palm is going through some rather troubled times at the moment, and the recent rumors of possible acquisitions by Lenovo and HTC certainly haven’t helped. Now Bloomberg is reporting that Palm has put itself up for sale, and offers should be coming in sometime that week. The news did do Palm’s stock a little bit of good, as the stock price did go up amidst all the speculation. Apparently Dell had additionally taken a peek at the troubled company, but decided to give it a miss. Do you think that an acquisition would be decent to help Palm ride out the storm?
