Entertainment Fridge From Whirlpool
Fridges that only keep your food fresh are just so yesterday according to
Whirlpool, which thinks fridges should also have an in-built dock that will let
you hook up a wide range of entertainment devices. Fridge TVs are not new but this seems to be taking the entertainment fridge concept a bit further.
The Whirlpool fridge sports what is
called the Centralpark Port, which acts as a ‘plug and play’ home entertainment
platform for devices you already own, including portable DVD systems, digital
picture frames, satellite radios, mobile phones and MP3 players etc. The idea is that by having this innovative docking
solution, you can clear up some of that gadget clutter from your kitchen, as
well as be able to use your devices at eye-level.
An exclusive run of the futuristic fridge is due out at the end of
this year and Whirlpool said that the major electronics brands will be
compatible with the port. A major rollout is expected in 2008.
