Phoney phinger for your Iphone

SOME BRIGHT SPARK has come up with a fantastic new way to squeeze even more money out of Apple fanbois, by flogging them a little Q-tip like stick with a soft bit at the end (sort of like a finger), to control their Iphones and Ipod touches with. Sort of a replacement finger, for your finger.

The site that sells the product declares "We all know typing on the iPhone or iPod touch can be frustrating at times" (well, we don’t ALL know that), adding promises that their little earwax Q-tip stick “won't scratch your screen”. Yes, but will it be able to scratch that hard to reach spot on your lower back, or deep inside your nose?

Apparently the phoney finger, dubbed the “soft-touch stylus”, lets you type and tap away on your Iphone with ease, to your little fanbois heart’s content, and all for only £13.

And as if buying a prosthetic Iphone finger wasn’t tempting enough, they’re also throwing in a shirt clip, so that you can pin the 10cm aluminum soft tip to your lapel and walk around giving everyone the finger, so to speak.

So, ear cleaning, nose picking, back scratching, and facilitator of rude gestures; sounds like a bargain. µ
