iPhone earrings will get great reception at your next party

In many ways modern cellphones are little more than high-tech pieces of jewelry that keep you connected to the world while looking great pressed to your ear. Barb at Etsy's "iPhone G3" earrings eschew all that unnecessary functionality and focus on the aesthetics, shrinking a pair of handsets the same way she miniaturized two Wiimotes, turning them into tiny charms to dangle from your earlobes -- head decor that's sure to light up the eyes of every male geek in the room. A pair are yours for just $22, which is a fair bit more affordable than the real things.

looks melted

[Sam of the Sun Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:48AM]

I think Apple's lawyers might be interested too.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 6th 2009 4:17AM]

yea

[OneLove Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:41AM]

does it have cut and paste?

[Whiternoise Posted Feb 5th 2009 1:33PM]

Cut and paste is probably how they made the GUI for those earrings..

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 3:17PM]

I kinda does.....

or



Is it the iPhone Nano people are crying about?

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:22AM]

I believe the creator's name is Barb Feldman and the site she's selling through is called Etsy.

"Barb at Etsy's "iPhone G3" earrings..."

[Alex Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:24AM]

Although I presume that'd depend on where the party is held, since 3G can be really spotty in some areas.

[stridermt2k Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:25AM]

Whoah.

-little acid flashback there.

real nice

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:32AM]

and will make your ears go doooooooooooooooown

[musicguy Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:32AM]

Great reception right... Everyone will laugh at you!

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:32AM]

Look - It's the Iphone Nano!!!

[UnixSystemsEngineer Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:38AM]

Cute, though I'm not sure how I'd feel about a grown woman who wore these...

[Why should I have all the fun Posted Feb 5th 2009 12:03PM]

"Instantaneous Impotence Syndrome"

Also caused by nude images of Bea Authur, "cankles", and anyone who still makes quote signs with their fingers when making a point.

[jfalkingham Posted Feb 5th 2009 4:05PM]

wait, I use quotation fingers

[Eternal Density Posted Feb 5th 2009 6:02PM]

I "never" use "quotation" fingers.
"honest"!

[hapadude Posted Feb 5th 2009 7:28PM]

Don't worry, because based on that model's haircut, she probably likes chicks and not dudes.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 7:32PM]

You'd think they work for Engadget.

[phobic99 Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:43AM]

Fugly comes to mind.

[appleboy Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:46AM]

Do they have copy n paste

[McKeegan Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:45AM]

"iPhone earrings will get great reception at your next party"

Yeah. Unless, you know, you're a dude.

[Raul7 Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:48AM]

They cost 22$, with a 30$/month plan.

[Sam of the Sun Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:53AM]

And 0.5Gb cap.

[NHAnimator Posted Feb 5th 2009 3:31PM]

"They cost 22$, with a 30$/month plan."

And you have to wear them for two years or pay Barb $175 more.

[DeadRebel Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:49AM]

Is the reception you get better than the real phone's reception?

[fieldcar Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:49AM]

Great reception.... for me to poop on!

[Alex Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:51AM]

Haahhaahha, amazing

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:50AM]

Barb should make an Omnia or similar WinMo phone pair of earrings, so then you can wear an iPhone one and the WinMo one and run around telling that you don't have any sort of bias.

[fieldcar Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:50AM]

Robin Hood: You've just entered the territory of Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
Rabbi Tuckman: (makes a suggestive wave of his hand) Faigelehs?
Robin Hood: No, no, we're straight, just merry.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:50AM]

someone should get that as a gift for iJustine

[kevout Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:53AM]

That headline makes me smile. Horrible jokes FTW.

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:59AM]

Next it will be the iPhone vibrator:(

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:02AM]

maybe more interesting if these were designed for nipple piercings.

[Torch Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:06AM]

Would be even better if it were a iPhone female chastity belt where you had to slide the arrow to unlock the treasure.

[Alex Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:18AM]

Would be even better if it were a replacement women's mouth, so you could swap it out for your woman's mouth, so you could zip her lip using the slider.

[DeadRebel Posted Feb 5th 2009 2:57PM]

Or if you douche bags ever actually came into contact with a real, live female, you wouldn't need to make (very) terrible jokes on the internet about iPhones and womens body parts.

[Eternal Density Posted Feb 5th 2009 6:04PM]

What about this?

i saw a fake one today...

[greezyg Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:20AM]

You know what sucks!
If a man were to wear some iPhone accessory he would be guaranteed not to get any!!
Women who wear these will most definitely get some geek sex! wtf!?

[DanH Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:22AM]

Who let you out of digg?

[rwdebes Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:51AM]

someone need to be really ridiculous to use something like that.

[Torch Posted Feb 5th 2009 12:06PM]

Why does he look like a woman in your avatar?

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 11:51AM]

Can you jailbreak them?

[Inzain Posted Feb 5th 2009 1:08PM]

Does it come with AT&T's horrendous support service?

[Sheppard Posted Feb 5th 2009 2:31PM]

Shame Apples format of choice is AAC.

[2late2die Posted Feb 5th 2009 4:12PM]

Ewww!


That's all I can say.

[FILA Posted Feb 5th 2009 9:09PM]

[(Unverified) Posted Feb 5th 2009 10:47PM]
