Here is world’s first “made for iPod” refrigerator from Gorenje. The company has introduced this fridge at IFA 2008. The fridge comes with an iPod dock that can recharge the player and play music on the fridge built-in speakers. Gorenje has made an agreement with Apple to use their technology in Gorenje refrigerators. What makes this fridge cool is that it can also control other household appliances that are connected via Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, there is no info on pricing or release date at this time.
