We
have just seen a report on the Guardian.co.uk that claims a US company is showcasing
a combined MP3 player and Taser at a tech show in Las Vegas.
The
MP3 has a 1 gigabyte store.
The
Taser has an impressive 50,000 volts of power.
The
two lithium batteries apparently have enough power to taser 100,000 people on
one charge.
The
company that produces it, Arizona-based Taser International, says it:
"allows
for both personal protection and personal music for people on the go."
In
the USA there are believed to be 160,000 tasers held in private hands.
The
iTaser is available in (shocking?) pink, red, black and even leopard skin.
Free
tracks supplied on the device probably don't include from artists: Sparks, Frank
Zappa, Catrina and the Shockwaves, Electric Light Orchestra, and Ahhhhaaaaaa!
