Cell Mate

Remember that picture of a "hands-free cell phone" that circulated around for years?

I couldn't help but think of it when I saw the "Cell-Mate" hands-free device being sold by Laser Products Industries. Seriously, why not just use a rubber band? It would be a lot cheaper.

Not to mention, Big Gary, the amount of other drivers who experience high blood pressure for having to deal with assholes who would rather talk on a phone instead of focusing on the road.

Considering the large plastic LCD screens on most phones these days, this device looks like it'll make for some seriously sticky cell phones. It takes me 20 minutes to an hour to drive home from work (stupid bus strike). If I had this thing on, I'd be dripping with sweat from my cheek, and have to buy a new phone every couple of days.

1) I dont want anything named "Cell-Mate" around my Head area. (if you catch my drift)
2)based on the Pics. would it be safe to assume...hands free head sets started in the "Hood"?
