i-brating musical toy for grown ups

This is the most silly i-pod accessory I’ve seen yet. Apparently the music playing on your i-pod controls the speed and rate of vibration. Which I guess means if you play Beyonce, Maroon 5, Nickelback or similar dreck this device will auto-magically start to suck. Ha ha, I kid. (No I don’t.)

Good idea? Greedy tie in? Or fashion being reflected in the “pleasure object” product category? Man there’s a Steve Jobs joke in here somewhere!  Love it or hate it, it is easy on the eye and adheres to the i-product design ethos very well.

If you visit the maker’s site www.ohmibod.com be sure to check out the video. It’s a hoot, and looks like a parody of the old i-pod campaign as done by SNL. Took my breath away.
