I really wish people would get more creative with product names.
Putting an "i" in front of everything is just getting old.
due, you're just i-jealous cuz you didn't i-think of it.
Evidently they were afraid to use the "i" so they opted for the easily-mistaken "!" instead. Probably too close to iTunes otherwise.
Sadly, this marketing ploy works quite well. The number of crappy products prefixed with "i" grows everyday and the sheeple are naturally drawn to them.
If you'd look more closely you'd see that the product name is in fact !Tude. See, they went with an exclamation point over an "i", so they are super original and creative. That'll show you...
Hey.. I've got an eight year old that would love this... can't find them. Anybody iknow where to find them?
It doesn't even say iTude you pylon -- it says !tude. It makes a difference where you put the dot.
Maybe you should pick up one of those keyboards for the blind.
Hey blinkin'!
"Did you say Abe Lincoln?"
You guys are all missing one very important detail, one of the colors is "colonoscopy blue"...nothing says entertainment like sticking a tube up your...well...you know, and then taking the tube and PUTTING IT IN YOUR EAR!
I suddenly felt a great disturbance in the force...as if millions of ravers and cyber-goths cried out in simultaneous orgasm...
Yup, I'm definitely gonna start seeing these by the bucket full at the club.
What sort of people wear earphones in the club?
"What sort of people wear earphones in the club?"
I wouldn't put it past the same weirdos Miranda mentioned to use these... not to listen to their headphones, but to be "cool".
Someday when I grow up I want to be cool... someday.
Their naming strategy reminds me of the old "Air Jordache" vs. "Air Jordan" issue.
That "colonoscopy blue" sounds real sweet. Next thing you know the trend is going to change from adding "i" in front of everything to adding "colon" in front of everything... they might even abbreviate it as ":" to really throw people off. You'll see, it'll be all the rage.
These actually wouldn't be half bad as a "running at night reflector" type light. then for the bulk of the battery and the $43, you could probably do better.
The 80s are back! YES!
I'm two out of the three... BUT GUESS WHICH ONES!
Did anyone else read that as iTurd for a second. Yah yah I haven't had enough caffeine this morning.
He he he. Colonoscopy Blue.
Come on, !tude? Looks like a piece of JL!NK to me!
What the hell is DAP?
haha i love the description written for this piece
Am I the only one who thought at first glance that this thing was a new Wiimote with a new and improved pink wrist strap?
What's the difference with the old IBeat sold about 1 years ago? If it's the same product! This = shit! I've be refond in 2 week and pass 2 pair of headphone in 2 or 3 days 1 of the ear cord stop illuminating! Same prob with the second pair IBeat send me! Stay away of that earphone!!!!
Am i the only one who thought it was named iTurd before you really read it?
