I guess the Pearl(?) makes a better looking meat cell phone than the iPhone. All it would be is a couple of slices of ham stacked on top of each other.
I'm fairly certain it's a Sony Ericsson K850.
Ugh, sorry for the dp. I actually mean the k810. I got a little ahead of myself there.
Know... know... know know, know know! na-Know Know KnowKnowKnow - Know Your Gadgets of Meat!
It's a freakin' meat phone. Does it matter?
Slap a PETA logo on it and I'll buy it! Does it come with an unlimited bacteria plan?
3G has never been so tasty as it is now.
or... the fact that engadget actually posted an article about this?
"whats sadder, the fact that this has happened before, of the fact that this has happened before?"
"nah don't chuck it out, just make everyday items out of it."
"What?"
"You know, model the meat to look like a wallet or some keys or some shit."
"What?"
*Drugs definitely played a part in this idea.
Wait, what was that last idea? Mold it to look like excrement?
"3G-capable cellphone"... "4TB flash drive"... ha ha ha...
sorry...boss...I think I just ate that 10k lines of code I wrote last night...
Does anyone else see the irony in that the 1st is National Vegetarian Day?
Looks like someone was having withdrawals ;)
Some lines should NOT be crossed! :P
MMMMMMMM!
Tasty!
IT'S BACON!!!!!!
Mmmmh, Yummy. Where can i buy one of these?
I don't know about you, but I'm gonna eat these things whenever I see one.
GoVegan is gonna be pissed.
Haha, love the name.
um, fuck em?
I really hate people 'apologizing' to veggies/vegans. It's their choice, they can deal.
I don't annoy you and protest your tofu veggie wrap, even though I think it's awful.
How about someone apologizes for annoying carnivores with your apologetical waste of text?
@NoAndThen: He was referring to a member here named GoVegan who is known for being very anti anything to do with meat. I see no reason at all why you would go so psycho at him anyway.
Price? Release date? C'mon Engadget don't keep us in suspense!
Gives whole new meaning to the term "meat wallet"
YES YES... meat wallet FTW!
Disgraceful behavior from a backward thinking culture obsessed with the industrial uses of animals. In 50 years people will look back and bow their heads in shame at this sort of f’king lunacy.
Actually, no, we're not. We're going to look back and laugh at vegetarians who died out due to lack of proper nutrition, as we consume the flesh of our avian, bovine, porcine and other 4-legged enemies. Most vegetarians grew up eating meat consistently, and that's why they were healthy, until later on down the road when they decided to convert to Retardism and worship the earth, and only eat vegetables... TO SAVE THE PLANET.
What the... Name ONE avian with four legs! I MUST consume this creature.
(And googling for 4 legged chicken doesn't count)
The main flaw with your "vegetarians taking over the world" plan is that vegetarians and vegans are frail and weak and will ultimately lose in any physical confrontation with flesh eaters. Think of it as Darwin's plan to remove vegetarians from the species.
For every animal you don't eat, I'm going to eat three. -Maddox
@ChuChu who wrote "vegans are frail and weak".
Sorry dude but you really should think before you speak, because your statement sounds much like what comes out of my backside 2-3 times a day.
You have obviously never heard of the following vegans:
Carl Lewis (Olympic athlete) who admits that it was being a vegan that helped him become the fastest runner in the world.

Or Mac Danzig, Ultimate Fighter champion, who is also an ethical vegan.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_Danzig
Keith Holmes former World Middleweight boxing champion.

or bodybuilder Kenneth Williams.

I'm not exactly small or weak either ;)

Just because of you I'm inspired to spark up my grill this weekend and make some ribs...
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!! =P
"vegetarians who died out due to lack of proper nutrition"
is your doctor also your butcher?

If you're just fine with any of the methods being implemented above then... whatever.
I've always wondered why Vegans and other anti-meat consumers and organizations fail to acknowledge that animals eat other animals, and they way they kill their prey is often grotesque and looks to be extremely painful too.
Since we're essentially animals ourselves, why is it wrong for humans to consume meat? Especially when I have canine teeth and one stomach with one compartment unlike a cow that has 4 compartments?
@Hellaphunt:
I think that's the problem, people don't do their research and see that the meat industry is more cruel than anything they can imagine. And they don't realize that it's bad for the inviroment. (It takes massive amounts of food and water to keep all those animals)
Sometimes I fantasize about invading slaughterhouses with an uzi and killing all those nazis.
@iPwn
I always take advice about the inviornment from people who are as smart as you...
I obviously just don't know how it affects my invirornment...
By the way is invironment like my internal organs?
It is not the meat industry that is bad for the ENVIORNMENT, it is the consumption rates in the United States that affects it.
Besides odds are this was some meat that had gone bad/could no longer be sold and the guy was like, better not WASTE the meat, we should put it to use.
And please people, the meat industry is huge, don't take like 5 examples and say this is how all meat packing plants are run!! much less try to force your beliefs on me
@Andrew
I like how the majority of your argument was to point out and ridicule his improper grammar while having very little to say about his perpective. Just because I only posted so many links, it doesn't mean that's the percentage of cruelty going on in the industry (sampling?), but whatever helps you sleep at night. The demand for all this food is no excuse for the in-house assualts, tortures, hazing, doping, maming, laming, that goes on.
Call me a pussy for giving a crap, I don't care. Just kills me how ignorant people are.
I'm a firm vegetarian, but a 4TB flash drive? Maybe - just maybe - I could swallow that.
Thats what she said...
"Is that a four terabyte meatdrive in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
highjumpman, basing on the stiffness of that ham, I don't think the girl would have thought you're being "happy"... unless... are you having a problem? O.O
>>> "...some butcher-to-be found enough spare time (and enough fresh meat) to create a
>>> wallet, a set of keys, a 3G-capable cellphone and a 4TB flash drive from raw, tender meat..."
I have no problem eating a crop that can look back at me (I'm still scratching my head about some attempts to classify said crop using a human standard...how strange!), but I don't think I'd ever call processed baloney "fresh meat".
3G? 4TB?!
I'll take 50 lbs.
People, people, people...have you forgotten that this might be...oh to heck with it...
Will it blend?
STFU... it's old.
"They're made out of meat."
I know, eh? A unique, living thing, with a personality and a family.... THAT'S DISGUSTING! Ugh!
Well, at least it's dead now. Not so disgusting now! Quite delicious, actually, with the right preparation....
Every time I see you post I'm going to eat a ham sandwich. Hope that helps!
HAHA, at least now i can finally shove my meat into the PC ;-] lol
That meat may be tender, but it's certainly not raw. Looks like cold cuts to me.
That's Ham-tastic!
absolutely sick,appalling,disgusting...
i'm sure you people@Engadget would have better news to post than this...
goddammit vegans, stop preaching like an apple fanboi. i don't care if you don't eat meat, just do it on your will. everyone knows about vegetarianism, so if they want to convert, they will.
Here here. A little more civility would've gotten better reception on your point though.
You're going to kill all those oxygen producing plants and leave nothing but air polluting animals. You're destroying the Earth, don't you see? You're nothing but a dephotosynthesizer.
@ GoVegan
So, I'm a lacto-vegetarian, and people like you make me hate myself. When I go out with friends, I politely ask them to eat double their portions of steak to make up for my transgressions against society. Also, when I look at a cow I don't say things like "I must save you and your family. Come with me if you want to live!" I actually say things like "you look delicious, but you make me slow and weak, therefore, I will eat trees."
But, in seriousness, you're an idiot, though you are actually right in saying that some vegans and vegetarians are healthy and fit, much like myself. I went through bootcamp living off of peanutbutter and salads and maintained the fastest run times in my division for years.
I just ask that instead of spreading your soy-burning propoganda here amongst my Slim Jim devouring geek friends, please do it somewhere where it may be relevant, like Berkeley, where nobody really cares.
I recommend that GoVegan orders a meat lovers pizza, rather than preach doctrines of demons.

all I was trying to state was that the use of animals as a commodity to be exploited by humans may well be one day regarded in a similar manner as we now regard slavery. Barbaric and very wrong.
I does not bother me what you eat this weekend so long as it is not me on the grill.
P.S. I rather like America.
"i got your meat phone right here!"
so a flesh usb drive... who cares...
and actualy that meaty sleeve for the ipod was said to be made of fake meat...
So, he made a literal ham wallet. I never thought I'd see the day.
The wallet's been done before:

Animals are not people. Period. You are an idiot.
