Sing to your tunes in the shower, or take and make Bluetooth phone calls.

Back at CES 2012 I found the iShower. It was from iDevices, creator of the iGrill, a Bluetooth enabled meat thermometer. The young lady in the shower video is Maxim Magazine’s “Hometown Hottie”, Mayra Tinajero. iShower plays music via Bluetooth and can remember 5 Bluetooth paired devices. It not only lets users enjoy their favorite music in the shower, but in any environment that would potentially harm their device like the beach, pool, lake, etc. The Bluetooth enabled music player can be kept in a safe place up to 200 feet away while broadcasting the music to the iShower. The shower mounting can stay installed while the iShower is easily detachable. Controls on the iShower, include play/pause/forward/rewind & volume functions. The company says you can expect about 15 hours of streaming audio on 3 AA batteries, which are included. The iShower also has a time of day display to help you know if you can linger in the shower, or how to cut it short and head out to work. Installation requires no tools. The built-in hanger can also act as a stand for the unit. $99.99.

UPDATE: You’ll probably find it hard to find a place still selling the iShower. The few sites I tried, including the company’s own website shows it as ‘out of stock’. That’s because the iShower2 is coming to replace it. According to the spokesperson at the Affordable Housewares Show, the new model due out mid to the end of October 2014 will add a longer battery life, the ability to make and answer phone calls via Bluetooth, plus a better sounding speaker. And good news, the price will be the same as the original: $99.99. It is expected to appear on the company website first, then move into stores. As of 10/16/14, it was not yet on the company website.
