iZap!
The makers of the Taser have a new consumer offering coming out. Already being called the "iTaser" it combines a 50,000 Volt Taser with, wait for it, an MP3 player. No, really, it does.
The taser, which is being unveiled at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this week, also comes in "fashion" pink, "red hot" red and leopard print designs in a bid to make it more fashionable.
Arizona-based Taser International is hoping its latest product will be a particular hit with women who would not usually consider buying a taser because it is too ugly.
Company spokesman Peter Holran said: "Women want whatever they're carrying - from a lipstick case to their eyeglass case to their Taser - to look nice and be something they won't mind if it falls out of their purse."
The company produced the "iTaser" because it wanted to make it easier for people to integrate it into their lives.
Mr Holran said: "If people buy the C2 Taser and leave it in a drawer or under a shelf, it does them no good when they need it."
Gee, if it's a big hit, will Smith & Wesson come out with the "iMagnum?" That will give a whole new meaning to "with a bullet" in the trade rags!

You have to be really careful about where you plug in the headphones.
