When this gadget came across our desks, we were a little puzzled. Did you really need an MP3 player in your hair straightener? Couldn’t you just bring your iPod or your computer into the bathroom? Apparently the people at INGLAM thought not — so we decided to give it a try.

With no directions on how to get the songs onto the styling iron, we spent a good 15 minutes just trying to upload music; in the end, we gave up. Unlike the MP3 aspect of this gadget, the hair straightener seemed pretty normal. But as a combo, we’ll skip it.
