I'll Have Some Wheat Toast With That iPod

New York Aug 4 - Following Mieli's stunning debut last month of the dishwasher-compatible iPod, Procter-Silex announced a new partnership with Apple Computer and is releasing the iPod SmartToaster today.

'We took a hard look at the Mieli Dishwasher iPod and was quite impressed, a Procter-Silex company spokesperson said. "The 'Quiet Cycle' that automatically offered Windham Hill tunes … The Heavy Soil cycle blasting Metallica … We saw a lot of compatibility with our toaster line".

The iPod SmartToaster, with extra-wide slots, now has a 4-gig, programmable iPod and is available in a variety of colors to match your kitchen décor.

"When the kids are warming up some Pop Tarts, they can listen to Brittney Spears … Toasting a bagel? What better accompaniment than Klezmer music".

It's reported that Apple will soon announce a licensing deal with Cuisinart and Blackberry, for an iPod Food Processor that's also a PDA and Cellphone.
