    @mfaerber: An iPod is not as spacious as you might imagine. Even with 100-dollar bills, I'd say the most you could cram in through the dock slot would be maybe 5 or 6 hundred bucks.

    @frigg: If there isn't, there certainly should be. Somebody pissing you off? User your iPhone to take a photo of them, then have your "Virtual Smackdown" app repeatedly pummel them silly. In the paid upgrade version, you can also break a chair over their head.

    To think some people used to worry about white headphones getting them mugged...


    And why Platinum? The finish isn't even that different from the shiny metal of an iPod!

    i don't think it looks tacky, but it fails on so many levels. reception, battery life, gettin mugged. i hope one day people will realize that platinum and gold are meant for teef and teef alone.

    I'd settle for Titanium, b/c, well, it's just a sexier metal than something you find in your tailpipe.

    @TheTriStatesBestSide_GitEmSteveDave: Platinum? Titanium? My tailpipe is generally associated with materials that are more pliable, expandable and, most importantly, waterproof.

    I'm seeing this phone-studded patch of Astro-Turf in my mind's eye. I'm seeing myself placing it on the floor of my office. I see myself getting a driver, settling into my stance, lining up the swing over everyone's favorite RAZR.


    I see myself winding up. Par five my ass, we're going to the nationals with this one.

    This looks like something a design student came up with after a weekend drunk from which they woke up, face down in astroturf, with a dead cell phone.
