Unfortunately, we've no idea exactly what mobiles are compatible with ConnectLand's USB Ferris Wheel Phone Stand (aside from the HTC Touch, obviously), but we're all probably better off that way. This undoubtedly bizarre device can be powered via USB or a pair of AA cells, and it sports an incoming phone call alarm in the form of... wait for it... a spinning Ferris Wheel. That's right kids, whenever your handset receives a call, the wheel starts to spin and LEDs begin to flash, giving you plenty of motivation to hand out your number to anyone who will call it. Those with money to burn can snap one up for $27, but if you're that curious to see how this thing works, why not save your dough and peek the (intensely boring) video after the jump? 
Look it's the London Eye!
Look is another piece of chinese junk!!
Cool but if I hear that sound when I feel a little PMS-ish that thing would end up in the nearest wall.
Contemplates the idea of someone called homeBOY suffering from PMS.
PMS-ish... ish... Tell me if i'm wrong but i'd say he means when he is cranky more than that he's an actual girl... But I could be wrong
It's a rainbow of fun.
Thats kind of trippy in an odd way...
wouldve been better if it just SPUN (without the music), and have the ringtone come out of the phones speaker.
OR find some way to pipe the phone's ringtone through its speakers.
oh damn i just read what i wrote.. i meant
...and have the phones ringtone come out of the speaker.
i put "phone" in the wrong spot
I'll fall back to sleep before I can answer the phone. rock a by baby =)
When I heard the phone's ringtone start playing, I was first annoyed, and then thought "who's going to win?" and then it was definitely "Rock-a-bye Baby," by sheer perseverance. Yay classics, boo new stuff.
It's almost as horrible as Hello Kitty's gadgets.
That's sooo obnoxious....
Great. Now I'm terrified of clowns again. $12K worth of therapy, down the drain.
I'm coming for you in your sleep...
I probably works with all phones as it is probably one of those cheapo things that activates on the interference you get when your phone takes and incoming call next to a speaker or something id imagine. I'm going dressed as one next halloween.
This would be cool if you were deaf...and, for some reason, had a hearing-required-style phone.
And then what? Hello? Hello? Anyone there? Why can't I hear you?
Maybe it's cause I am deaf?
I see this as a pioneer in the area of graphic notification. Before long we should see fish quivering/jabbering, monsters waving, phalli getting erect, etc, etc. More, more!
What? Your phalli didn't already get stimulated indirectly by looking at the Ferris wheel spinning?
If mine lasts more than 4 hours, I'm seeing a doctor...
@Syd
Phalli is a plural.
I hope that was a typo...
not new. A few years ago if you bought a certain sony ericsson phone in china, Taiwan or hong kong you get one for free with sony ericsson brand on it.
stop yar darn advartesin ya whipper snapper!!
Sorry in the mood today =D
it would be a REALLY GOOD LAPTOP if it had and LED flashing ferris wheel, but that would take up your one USB port thus making it just a good laptop... its a bit of a catch-22
Would you buy from a man who spams on a USB Ferris Wheel page and spells the word manual "manuel"?
Well, after watching that I can see no reason why someone wouldn't want that.
sure, this is nice, but it's no dancing sound-activated flower, who were decades before their time.
;)
That truly is, the epitome of excitement!
Fine, now I want my Bluetooth Rollercoaster. Obviously it needs to be 2.0+EDR in case I'm bored on my patio.
