 Until they release an Apple branded iFauxne that includes a switch-blade or fires real bullets I think we've spotted a contender for most dangerous shanzhai phone ever! This phone initially appears as yet another boring candy bar styled phone. But a closer inspection of the back side reveals a cigarette lighting functionality similar to that you would find in a car lighter. I'm not sure what would have been a more dangerous implementation... filling your phone up with lighter fluid and a flint or using this glowing electric coil that runs off your phone battery? Seabright who is purportedly responsible for this device wants you to know it doesn't need gas or ever get blown out by the wind (although they don't mention what it does to your phone's battery life?).  Western Opportunity: At Shanzai.com we think convergence of non-digital devices with digital ones is a great opportunity for some creative western company and a trend we think will become more popular in the future. However we don't recommend mixing flammable items and your digital life together in any way shape or form. Mixing fire with phones is an incredibly bad idea. Phones have a habit of catching on fire on their own if they are of poor quality. Remember this?  Conclusions: What the $#^%#$^@ hell are they thinking? [Source] Related articles |
