Give the iPhone a Bone – Chew This One Over [Gamebone Pro]

by Jay Garrett on June 23, 2009

iphoneboneSo – it sounds like the Apple iPhone and iPod Touch will be getting “third party game accessories”.

If you didn’t believe what heard then you’re probably not going to believe what you’re seeing.

Yup - it’s the GameBone Pro controller, which aims to bring six buttons and an 8-way direction pad to your Apple handset and it’s thanks to Aussie iPhone developer, 22moo that we have it.

This is no dog-chew toy by the way!!

The GameBone packs dual connectivity, allowing you to use either wireless Bluetooth or the iPhone dock connector.

 Instead of leeching off the not-so-great iBattery the bone has a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery on board, which will support your iPhone battery using the GameBone Pro’s own juice.

The GameBone Pro is also rocking an integrated mic and speakers, plus a 3.5mm headphone jack – it will even come with a support stand for your handset.

22Moo are actually taking suggestions for how the controller should be priced.

So what would you be prepared to pay for a bone?

Buy Japanese Maid’s Legs To Use As A Pillow

by Jay Garrett on March 1, 2009

pillow_japanIf pillows that look like bits of people are your thing (remember the Hug Me pillow?) and don’t actually freak you out – you might like this.

How about a pillow that looks like a pair of legs?

So, if you’re the type of person that would like to snuggle down into some dismembered legs for a good ol’ nap then you should go and buy it/them through Rinkya for $26.

I’m not sure what’s most disturbing: The fact that this pillow is available or that there appears to be a mans hand stroking one of the legs in the picture……..

It’s all just very wrong!

Would you buy one for yourself or a friend?

What would you think if you went back to a person’s home to find one of these in the bedroom or lounge?

Answers please in the comments box :)

Hmmmmmmmm……………….
No real surprise that the price has been cut for this as, to me, it looks freaky as hell.
To be honest I’d find it difficult enough sharing a room with this; let alone a bed.
But for those of you that have been waiting for such a deal the creepy one-armed “Hug Me Pillow” has dropped [...]
