I got their PR and immediately hit delete. I didn't even stop to consider writing a post even a tenth the size of what you wrote to point out the uselessness of this device! But here's the 'scary' part - you've got to imagine that this probably costs them a few bucks to manufacture. If they even managed to sell a few thousand units or better, they would have done pretty well. And like you said, they can definitely come up with even more similar but useless gadgets. *sigh* Jeremy – you’re a better man than I. I got their PR and immediately hit delete.
