Crapgadget CES, round 2: The Phubby (wrist-on)

It's advertised as a cubby for your wrist, but it doubles as an opposite-sex repellent.

Update: Don't worry, it probably repels members of the same sex as well.

@putin : you saw a fairly large rack in Tokyo? That's rare.

Ummmmm......

I can see emo kids using this.

...so it would be bad if I said I wanted one...?

It worked for Space Ghost...

the basic idea isn't bad, but the products show here, from the designs to the material used... oh it's just so horrible.

I could see something like this being used for specialty applications, but not for general use. If you want to "feel the vibration" then get one of those bluetooth watches that have a vibrating motor inside.

WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THIS?!?!?

Sheesh.

Could give a whole new meaning to a Trojan iPhone virus.
