SolidAlliance's iCool scented MP3 player

Leave it to SolidAlliance to develop the iCool (no, not that iCool). The same kids we awarded with the weirdest gadget from 2005 now bring us this mis-named MP3 player sportin' 256MB of internal memory and SD slot that, well, also smells like chocolate, roses, lemon, strawberry, raspberry or blueberry. What, "iSmell" not polite enough?

Does the smell last long?

Hmm... good question #1. Is it like thouse Glade plug-it-in things that you slide-in a smell card or what?

Pretty unique.

Why do I get the feeling that they will smell very plastic-y & artificial...?
...don't answer that, it was a rhetorical question...

BTW, in case no ones noticed, the buttons are straight out of a Nokia 8250...

What? No new car smell? And do they kill germs - this is very important. No one wants to catch a virus!
Okay - my humorous moment is over.....

Reminds me of Hyundai's recent MP280 mobile phone that sprayed perfume:

You could even change perfume scents with that beast through the aid of a hyperdermic needle! Just what you want to encourage your kids with.

My favorite was the Feature you did on the super bowl.
