[1]For the iPod user who has everything, think about this new accessory as a possible holiday stocking, er, stuffer: a sex toy called iBuzz [2]. The new bullet-shaped device (studded attachments optional) pulses in time to the music, and the louder the music is played, the faster the unit vibrates. The toy is being sold in the U.K. for about $40 [3] by LoveHoney.co.uk. The U.K.’s Sunonline.com quoted LoveHoney’s Ali Carnegie as saying the item was a huge seller capable of providing customers “big smiles on their way to work.” But don’t look for a sizable marketing push from Apple. As you might imagine, it’s not an authorized Apple product. (A call placed to Apple went unanswered.) Nor is a joint venture with Herbal Essences expected. But if ever a device were made for buzz marketing, it’s the iBuzz.
