Play it Outdoors

Jessie Atkin posted a blog on Digital Landing about the revolutionary music player and basketball hoop in one.

Summer’s coming and it’s time to examine the new music scene outdoors. Household music systems aren’t quite as rugged (or as exercise enticing) as a basketball hoop.

Spalding has recently released its iHoop. It’s a combination basketball hoop and outdoor stereo system. Though the name obviously caters to ipod users the sound system should work with most MP3 players. The hoop contains an ipod compartment and control center in the hoops base, where the built in speakers also reside. The only catch is that the music is not battery powered, so an outdoor outlet is necessary to fully enjoy some warm up music before a pick up game. It makes more sense than trying to practice free throws with any MP3 player clipped onto the waist band of your shorts.
