The participant sits in a specially constructed seat at the back end of the catapult arm and 3,2,1…Liftoff. The device is put into motion when the participant pushs a button.

The iRing - Making the Coolest Gadget Ever Even More Fashionable

Without doubt, the gadget that has set the benchmark for style, technology and popularity is the Apple iPod. However, it was only a matter of time before new gadgetry was designed around the deity of the techy world, to make the iPod even cooler. Introducing the iRing, a Bluetooth ring that controls the playback functionality of your iPod. To adjust the volume, simply slide your finger across the touch sensitive surface of the ring. To play or pause songs, just tap the apple icon on the ring and to skip tracks you need only touch either side of the icon.

Wine + Bra = Awesomesauce! How can you NOT want to suck wine from your lady’s bosom? Wine Bra got my vote.

I originally voted for the air conditioned cushion, but I changed my mind. The AirKick Human Water Catapult seems like the thing that every pool should have. It’ll be the one thing you’ll want to strap friends, family, and enemies into, just so that you can see them fly.

Gaj, I have to admit that that’s the best gadget ever! Damnit!!

The water catapult has got to be the most fun. The wine bra is interesting, but then everyone would be wondering why you were “shrinking” as you were getting tipsy throughout the day!

The iRing is very cool, but… I’d rather be flying across a swimming pool. The catapult rocks.

Jen Says:

August 22nd, 2008 at 5:19 am

And, as far as I can see on the original page, the iRing is just a concept, so does it qualify as a gadget?

Brian Says:

I have to say this is by far the coolest gadget ever. I am just upset that I already got married, or this could be the best wedding band ever.

iRing only because I would kill myself with the human catapult.

Jenna Says:

Most definitely the iRing. Come on, it’s sleek, and minimalistic (just like everything else Apple does now), and would make turning down the volume on your iPod to chat someone up a cinch.

The solar headphones are practical, environmentally friendly, reasonably priced, and work with DRM-free products.

I would have to go with the human catapult for some awesome fun!

Jerry Says:

I’m going with the iring because as much as i love the catapult idea i don’t see in making its way to pool partys every where so my vote is the iring.

Jay Says:

A picture is worth a thousand words, the human catapult wins!

Krysta Says:

August 25th, 2008 at 6:37 am

Oh the things we’ll do to cool off in the hot summer sun. The ring is a smart idea but looks kind of masculine.

Drew Says:

August 25th, 2008 at 4:47 pm

Hands down the iRing wins it. But I have to say, my rumpus wants an air cooled cushion…The water catapult would be an impractical third on my list.

To play or pause songs, just tap the apple icon on the ring and to skip tracks you need only touch on either side of the icon depending on which direction you want to go [...]
