Pointless without question. And though it reminds me a little bit of R2/D2, I would not dare call it art, it's a disgrace to the real meaning of art. It looks neat, clean, simple, just like 99% of all devices that have been brought to the market in the past decade.
Now additional to all that, the sound quality has to be awful. So unless you get it for a really, really, really low price - why would anyone want to buy this crap? It looks just like a (cheap) child toy to me.
