Imobile phoneV588 makes calls, could hold your foundation

Not that we haven't seen compact-themed cellphones before, but we'd argue that the Imobile phoneV588 is about as suggestive as it gets. This dual-band GSM "handset" looks more like the next big thing from Cover Girl than your next mobile, with a circular form factor, pop-up lid, a built-in mirror and a design that would've totally worked in Princess Diaries. If you're curious about hard specs, you'll find a 2.6-inch LCD, an integrated MP3 / MP4 player, speakers and USB connectivity. Oh, and your guess is as good as ours on the whole "dialing / texting" aspect. Freshen up your social life for just $119.99.

I like these headline. I hate the stories of these pointless things. Someone is being paid to come up with these ideas.

Actually, I'm wrong. Someone is being paid to say these ideas because everyone's though of the idea but though it was too crap and too embarrassing to suggest so pay someone to say the stupid ideas so the rest of the board meeting members don't have to.

A response as pointless as the product :D

April Oneil had one of these with a Turtle shell as the cover.

The bad guys would capture her and never confiscate it because she always said " I need my compact"

WHAT THE HELL YOU NEED MAKEUP FOR IN PRISON?

Whoa! It's a "Totally Spies" Compowder! What other gadgets come with it? A Jetpack Backpack? M-Ray Contact Lenses? Do you get them from some balding guy after falling through improbably placed chutes in your high school hallway?

It's a touchscreen, it's got the trademark 4 little touchscreen button things that all KIRF phones out of shenzhen have. I can't see this being news anywhere, it's so tacky. Then again I guess there are people that would find that appealing.

Someone watched "Totally Spies" one time too many and decided they had to make a compowder communicator. Or did that show ever make it to the States?
