US outfit whips out mp3 vibrator

IT and Vibrator news? 

It rather seems that after IT news vibrators are the second major topic area on The Register.

It doesn't bother me, but I do wonder whether soon you'll have stories of the latest HP vs IBM benchmarks and get a hail of "but where is the vibrator angle?" responses.

Thigh-pod? 

Wonder if it sounds muffled?

DICtaphone 

Given the voice record and playback features, replace your worn out analogue tape machine with one. Whether or not your secretary returns it to you after transcribing your dictation remains to be seen

A. This must be the idea of Geek heaven a girl with a USB Port.

B. Chat rooms could get a lot more intresting

Hate to disappoint the Hackettes, but..... 

Bergen the German says......

"Spread your Thighs, I love your thighs, I kiss your thighs...."

In a voice which I can only describe as: The bloke on the

Tax Office Helpline meets Johnny Bravo. If that turns women on,

I must have missed something along the way. I'll ask the Girlfriend

tonight for a second opinion but I hope she doesn't find it erotic,

cos' I couldn't repeat it without laughing loudly, which tends to spoil

the moment for all involved.

Not really portable as such 

Sure for the (non- PC?) PC enthusiasts it's certainly a niche in the market though.

Now unfreeze me when they develop the fully interactive holodeck will yah, cus everything else before that is just mucking about.

Benchmarks 

If I remember correctly this is not the first MP3 Vibrator to be featured here. I expect The Register to be just as thorough as it is with all it's other IT gadget articles and post a review and comparison for all similar devices.

The categories should be wide ranging such as:

-Playback Quality/Audio Fidelity (both during use and just as a MP3 Player)

-High and low band frequency chart (like speaker EQ, does it vibrate more/stronger with bass or treble? Does it have a harmonic?)

-Software compatibility (both computer and, um... ergonomic)

-Hardware compatibility (does it work with an IPod?)

-Functional Quality (Is it good? Maybe a Time To Org [T.T.O.] benchmark)

Anyone else have ideas?

Argh 

That playlist site is a joke, right? Damn, I'm loosing millions every minute I don't go out there and exploit horny folks on the web. If you can sell stuff as laughable as that... and that Bergen dude is worse than the villains in Die Hard. Good he spends all day up on that mountain.

Will this create a new niche market in the podcast department?

Ridiculous... 

I had a go at listening to the French Boy one... I don't understand French, but he sounded wooden as hell. Let's... just not get started on the "Kinky Nurse" one. I'm a girly girl and French accents can make me weak in the knees, but just, just no.

$99? I'd rather get a £10 rabbit, and use the SitePal free demo to get a sample French accent.

Personalized recordings 

why not just leave a message for ya missus asking;

"what the hell ya doin love, why aint i enjoying this with you?"

I don;t have an opinion on this 

but I thought teledildonics was dead.

the Jim bloke

so why isnt this in the hardware section ? 

Given the amount of space wasted on iphones etc, surely something intended to create an "enjoyable user experience" with a token attempt at innovation deserves equal respect ?

Dance music 

Finally a use for repetitive rhythm unvarying dance club music.

Bone conductive sound? 

If you'll pardon the double-entendre, does this thing take headphones or does it make the sound audible through some kind of bone conduction through the entire body? That'd be interesting, and perhaps a way of making truly invisible bluetooth headsets...

Italian Stallion ? 

The italian stallion preview is really funny. Sounds like someone just like the first lesson of an Italian language course ;)

Can you use it - 

instead of a dictaphone?

Aural sex?
