Whatever happened to the iRemote? There were rumors previously that Griffin had been developing one for the iPod, but decided not to release it.

I guess that these might be the next logical step - if they sell well, then maybe we might see an iRemote. However, as I see no real need to have a laser or a penlight on my iPod, I’m not sure what Griffin is trying to do.

You mean the PodMate? I think I read somewhere that Apple told them they couldn’t sell it for some reason… see pic/info at iPoding

I think this little iBeam thing is cool… might buy one just to annoy random people

Well compared to some accessories, at least this one is SOMEWHAT useful.

Well, I suppose if you attach the ‘frickin laser to the ‘frickin iPod and attach the ‘frickin iPod to the heads of some ‘frickin sharks, then yes, it would be kind of cool. Otherwise….  no.

Marketing never ceases to amaze me—

“The snap-on flashlight is great for finding keys in the dark.
...
Both units come with a snap-on protective cap that can be attached to any keychain for convenient portability and accessibility.”

the flashlight is probably weaker than the ipod’s backlight.

what is the point??? surely if you have one of these on your keyring you might as well have a real laser pointer or torch instead?

Buy a laser pointer just as good and costs less that you can use without it hooked up to your iPod…

How long before someone points the laser at someone else “just to annoy them”?

Class IIIa laser warning -
“Direct viewing of the Class IIIa laser beam could be hazardous to the eyes. Do not view the Class IIIa laser beam directly. Do not point a Class IIIa laser beam into another persons eyes.”

I fail to see the point of these two gadgets - but then I have torches all over the house…

I love pointless gadgets. But for the love of god, when is someone going to actually USE this? Griffin makes some great projects, so I’m wondering whose pet project is this that it got pushed through. These things are ridiculous.
