<p>Enticing marketing copy seals the deal:</p>
<blockquote><p>Nothing lifts the spirits like a good yodel, but most of us don&#8217;t have the skill to yodel on cue. That&#8217;s where the Emergency Yodel Button comes in. Keep this 4″ x 3″ x 5/8″ plastic device with you at all times and when the need arises, press the button to hear the sweet mellifluous warbling of an alpine yodel.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That&#8217;s certainly correct. I neither have the ability, nor the desire, to emit a skilled yodel on cue. Costs $US12.50 and your dignity.

<p>Yes, BagTV is a real product. It&#8217;s available for $US436! I&#8217;m honestly wondering if they&#8217;ve sold a single one of these things. Not only is it as bad an idea as ideas come, but it&#8217;s insanely expensive as well. Really, please, someone justify this thing&#8217;s existence for me.</p>
<p>Worse: this isn&#8217;t even the first time <a href="http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/03/hannspree_leather_purse_tv_renders_us_confused_somewhat_angry-2.html">someone has tried this idea</a>. Was the first one such a success you had to rip it off? Good lord. [<a href="http://www.bagtv.com/">Bagtv</a> via <a href="http://www.redferret.net/?p=12251">Red Ferret</a>]</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The UI in this video of the Pasen REI-16 is pretty slick, if not vaguely familiar. Oh that&#8217;s right. Just like their other player, the &#8220;iTouch,&#8221; this one is also a blatant ripoff of Apple.


Get them while they last when they arrive in January for about $US130. [B4Tech]
