Now this is the height of iPodism: 
"Real estate developer Omniyat Properties is planning to launch projects worth more than Dh3 billion in 2007, starting with a tower inspired by Apple's iPod MP3 player.
The company will announce at least two residential projects and one commercial development and will open its account in February with the innovative iPad residential tower in Business Bay.
The 23-storey building, which is scheduled to bring more than 200 units onto the market in 2009, was designed by Hong Kong-based architects James Law Cybertecture International.
The tower will sit atop a docking station angled at six degrees to give the exact look."
I found a pic on the net too:

If its tilted - does that mean that people are going to fall off from their beds - or maybe the beds will have seat belts to keep them in place
