Great interview with this freak here. Money quote: "What I really want to share about the philosophy of our company is that by linking OhMiBod to the iconic iPod, my hope is that our products will receive a level of social acceptance that other vibrators haven’t enjoyed. Our packaging is hip, sophisticated and approachable. We want our customers to feel as comfortable purchasing an OhMiBod as they do about purchasing any other iPod accessory."
I've said it before but I'll say it again. I've tested this product myself (I got a demo unit that Om Malik had just reviewed and returned) and it's fantastic. I'd love to sell this thing in our Apple stores but Ron Johnson says it's not a good fit. I told him that in fact in my experience it was a perfect fit. He says that's not what he meant. Peace, vibrator making ladies. I honor the place where my tunes and your sacred feminine temple become one.

Meet the woman who invented the iPod vibrator thing

I'd hit it.
They need to do a BlueTooth version vibrator because it has been my experience that you can tangled up in the cord.
I think this fits.
I didn't know you and Bill talk naughty to one another!

I think the iBuzz 'came' out earlier...

I wonder if Steve-o is allowed to take this with him to prison. It'd probably be permitted at Club Fed for options backdaters.
He could fill his iPod with his desert isle collection of the top 5,000 hip-hop beats that, um, do the Jobs.
Interesting product, but I think sales could be hampered by the "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone" message, and the apparent need to obtain two of them for stereo.
Still, it was thoughtful of them to add the ability to answer a call by squeezing it once, and to go to the next track by squeezing it twice.
You could be missing some cross-marketing opportunities here. Maybe a Nike + iPod Sport Kit for Kegel exercises?
what about a totally new Apple product iVibrate specially for the ladies!!...
A plug-and-play device.. literally :D
Interesting blog. Keep up the good work.
What else can I say?
The idea's a fantastic one, but the implementation leaves a fair bit to be desired. Sure, it's designed with the minimalist Apple-ness in mind...and I'm not really talking about overkill like the rabbit, which is a fairly awkward and annoying toy usually not worth the cost, but it really should have different styles like wireless, small bullet-sized, large, gspot, etc. and not just skins to cover them with.
And if there was ever a toy or two to sell at an Apple Store, ignoring the whole iPod integration idea, I'd have to say it should be a njoy or fun factory toy. those two make some of the best toys...stylish, high quality, wonderful. Speaking from experience, of course ;)
Cool stuff, got to get me one of those!!
I wonder if it's the same lady that invented these panties?
Now all we need is "VibeHero" for the iPod, in the spirit of Guitar Hero.
Why isn't their a hetero-male counterpart???

Oh my God, there's no step three!!
"I couldn't say where she's coming' from
But I just met a lady named Dinah-Moe Humm
She stroll on over, say look here, bum,
I got a forty dollar bill say you can't make me cum
(Y'jes can't do it)
I whipped off her bloomers 'n stiffened my thumb
An' applied rotation on her sugar plum
I poked 'n stroked till my wrist got numb
An' you know I heard some Dinah-Moe Humm
Some Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm
Dinah-Moe Humm"
With this gadget from OhMiBod, Sir Paul is gonna have an easier time getting Dinah Moe to humm!
I had this very idea, and when I described it to a friend, he remarked that during use, the iPod should play the Whitesnake song "Here I Go Again". In case you've forgotten the chorus:
"Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone"
Perfect!
sheezus, fsj. i lub ya, but yanno, you can be a real c*nt sometimes!
ba-da-BING!
thank you, thank you — yer a great audience! cupertino audiences are the best audiences anywhere! now git outta here, you crazy mooks! i'll be here all week. i'll be back for the 10:30 show. try the veal!
Did Jon Ive ever return the one he borrowed? (Make it easier to find earlier items here! Newtards won't get this joke...)
If I send in $500, can you purchase one or two of these things and send them to iJustine. I just love her.
