Cough Into This Headset

Filed under: Cellphones, Design, Peripherals

Did you get a ticket for talking on your cellphone while driving? Man, that sucks. Well, do something about it, get a headset. Better yet, get a headset to feed your nicotine addiction. Making calls is as easy as shouting into this cigarette box.

It’s designed for Nokia/Samsung/Sony Ericsson cellphones or people trying to get over cancer by reminding themselves that this pack is not smokeable. It’s the headset that doesn’t mind getting coughed all over, after all, it’s used to it. I’m amazed by the fact that this $6.79 headset is not only cheaper than a lot of headsets, but it’s also cheaper than cigarettes. What the fuck?

Martin Jetpack Is Almost Rocketeer Status

Let’s face it, we all want to be as cool as The Rocketeer. Fighting Nazis as a masked hero with a jetpack doesn’t get any cooler. Now a jetpack is hitting the mainstream market. Martin Jetpack is the world’s first practical jetpack and it was launched in action at Oshkosh, Wisconsin for AirVenture, right around the time of Virgin’s White Knight 2 launch.

Though the FAA is labeling it as an “experimental ultralight airplane, equipped with a gas-powered, V-4 piston engine and two ducted fans that provide the lift,” we all know it’s a jetpack used to fight off zombie Nazis. With the Martin Jetpack, one is able to hover for around 30 minutes and reach heights up to 8,000 feet. Good luck completing that nauseating 15 hour flight training after purchasing one for $100,000. Which, surprisingly enough, is way cheaper than those Rocket Belts.

A little more than a year ago we brought you the Ultimate Smokers’ Phone, a device which was made to look like a Chinese-brand of cigarettes’ pack, and even held real cigarettes. This time around, we’ve found a adaptation of the device which is much more Americana, featuring the design of the well-known Marlboro brand.

The Dual-band Marlboro phone features a 1.8″ LCD which offers a display of 260,000 colors and a 176 x 220 pixel resolution, not to mention a smoke whenever you need one. The form factor remains similar to the original, though now with a cowboy killer flair! You can get your own for ?70.62, or about $140. More images after the jump! (more…)
