Sausage stylus for the iPhone now on sale in the US

So you thought awesome gear never made the transition from Korea to the USA, huh? Not so in the case of the infamous sausage stylus we spotted a month ago. That cold weather peripheral -- allowing its ingenious users to operate a capacitive touchscreen with gloves on -- has made the big leap over to the Americas and can be yours for the low (seriously low) price of $0.99. Naturally, it's a sausage, so it will be compatible with not just iPhones but anything receptive to capacitive touch, although you should be cognizant of the "not for consumption" label -- compatibility with human stomachs is unlikely.

Again, the point?

@Jake Root

You don't live in a cold area do you?

[Jake Root Posted Mar 8th 2010 8:05PM]

@Jack No, I don't. I think I got it now though: it's for gloves, right? Actually a well thought out idea the more I think about it.

[Jack Posted Mar 8th 2010 8:39PM]

@Jake Root

Yeah. it looks pretty stupid to be poking your phone with a sausage but if you have gloves on it's pretty handy.

Oh sure my dog won't chew on this .....

[eGGnext Posted Mar 8th 2010 8:02PM]

This post made me realise that I never tried to use my iPod touch with my own "sausage". I can't believe that idea never crossed my mind.

[godsAngryTesticles Posted Mar 8th 2010 8:02PM]

I've always wanted to play Guitar Hero using a sausage.

[ashleythehottiest Posted Mar 8th 2010 8:03PM]

"Oh I thought it was real sausuage that sucks"


I think you got the other way around.

[eGGnext Posted Mar 8th 2010 8:04PM]

From now on, I'll check that every gadget I buy is sausage-friendly

I prefer chicken fingers!

[Standingfast Posted Mar 8th 2010 9:54PM]

Nasty, I wonder how long that thing will stay good... Also, how many critters you are going to draw to yourself...

[AwayBBL Posted Mar 8th 2010 10:01PM]

Hmmm... guess to do pinch zoom, you'll need multi-sausage

Now available at your local 7-Eleven.

[blinddance Posted Mar 9th 2010 1:45AM]

I love it! koreans x) Just... Do I keep the wrapping on or not?

[Keng Posted Mar 9th 2010 5:22AM]

I think a glove with two nice tits would work better.

[Nino Posted Mar 9th 2010 8:13AM]

Hello Mr Susage happy to "Meat" you.
I think is should be called iSausage.

[NHAnimator Posted Mar 9th 2010 8:21AM]

This will go great with my sausage fingers.

[decypherSMC Posted Mar 9th 2010 3:22PM]

You guys do know they're are a ton of actual gloves which special fabric or wires sewn into the fingers that allow you to use your iphone right?

I googled iPhone gloves and got this one:

and look at this, Instructables has directions for making your own glove

Seems a ton more decent than a meat sausage.

[epickimchee Posted Mar 9th 2010 5:11PM]

Those are so good! You can find them in Korean markets. :D

Richard Lai gave me one at the show, haha
