Ah yes, a portable bidet with all the things we'd expect from sanitary Korean electronics: antibacterial silver-nano
coating, extendable nozzle, trochoid pump, everything you need to keep fresh. There's just one thing that we're kind of
unsure of. It's that bit about having a "simple and new disign with digital camera." We have a feeling there was maybe
a little something lost in translation, but just in case we're the ones who are missing something, we encourage all
users of portable bidets to make sure their devices adhere to all normal privacy standards. Because really,
what could be more annoying than your your bidet taking snapshots when you're not good n' ready?

A great gift idea!
This harkens to the 'Vacation in Japan' episode of The Simpsons and Homer's hotel toilet cam...
Ugh...
Cool! Another gadget for my belt!
Does it have bluetooth?
"Charming" is certainly the word for this device.
Is the camera so you can have a look after using the device and make sure everything's clean downstairs? Logical, though revolting.
OMG!
"- nozzel : interior insertion type"
...insertion type? I don't even want to think about how this little beauty works!
Asian cultures examine their poop to measure their overall health. I expect this would be to "savor the moment" if you're in a public toilet sans bidet and in a rush to leave the stall.
I'm pretty sure they were just trying to say that this device "looks" like a digital camera so as to be inconspicuous.
awesome! now i can check to see if i REALLY got it all! :-o
It was a simple mistake in translation. The Korean word used for "with" can also be used for "like," so it should have been translated as "designed to look like a digital camera." Or, "Simple and New Design - Like A Digital Camera!" Coz, you know, that's more exciting.
Either way, though, it's still this thing you stick up your butt, and it's
electric... Would the addition of a digital camera really make it THAT
much weirder?
Everybody knows it's just TYPO! Thus,
it's ridiculous about the fact that Engadget posted this news!

Why is it ridiculous? Because YOU won't find any use for this? (or atleast one you'll admit to)
This IS a gadget, is it not? We are on a gadget website if I'm reading my address bar correctly, so why not post this here?
Did you see this post?:

That's a gadget not too many people here are ever going to use, or even see at that, but it was posted here because it's interesting to see what types of gadgets are out there.
If a specific gadget doesn't interest you, why not just move onto the next post?
