The sales pitch of the Cell-Mate is that every time you introduce a new element to a cellphone, like a wireless or bluetooth headset, there is a loss in reception quality. The Cell-Mate eliminates your bluetooth headset. No pairing involved. No charging necessary. There is no new technology to grapple with. You just velcro your cellphone to the Cell-Mate bracket and just wear the whole thing on your head.You won't hear about the Cell-Mate on CNet, PC Magazine or CNN. Only on the Daily Giz Wiz.
Dick doesn't think it will stand a chance, not to mention the other Cell Mate which makes these Stickpads for cellphones you put on your dashboard. And how about a simple rubber band, like the one below, picture from Cheapedia:
iGrill
Alan Ralph from the UK saw this on the Wal-Mart site and thought immediately of Dick and Leo. It's the George Foreman iGrill, an indoor outdoor electric grill complete with an iPod dock and speaker system. It's a day of wacky gadgets.
