Huh.

I wonder who was there first — Adonis Furniture, the interactive chair folk, or the techies over at Talking Panda, currently offering their iRocker for a lot less: $29.95, to be precise.

Of course, theirs is a software download that lets you play guitar along with your iPod's songs rather than a comfy chair.

Cold comfort, indeed, to the Talking Panda and Adonis lawyerbots, licking their chops and hyperventilating at the thought of all those billable hours to be spent chasing after nothing.

The chair comes in Pink (above), a very stylish bookofjoe

$299.

A bit rich for your blood?

I can see how that could be the case.

For you, there's the iRocker i100, a bare-bones version in blue or red priced to fly out of the warehouse at $169.
