Whisky Tango Foxtrot!?


Question: What (other) portable gadget received tons of media attention in 2007?

Yes, that other gadget.

No. Not the iPhone.

Here's a hint: "Don't t_ _ _ me bro!"

Yes, 2007 was the year of the taser. Criminals got tased. Hecklers got tased. Deaf mutes got tased. Even pregnant women got tased!

Well here's where convergence technology takes over. Ever get ready for work in the morning and are just fed up because you have no room in your coat pocket for your iPod and your taser?
Well the Taser MPH combination mp3 player / taser (?!?) is just right up your alley then!

"Today at CES, Taser International introduced the Taser MPH -- the first combination hand-held music player and Taser. The player, which has a 1-GB capacity that can hold about 150 songs, is embedded in a holster that slips on your belt. Feel the need to zap someone and you can unholster the Taser, use the built-in laser pointer to aim, and blam -- a couple of darts carrying 50,000 volts hits your victim."
