CES 2009: The Stupidest Accessory at CES is 100% Fail
Gearlog —
Okay. Two hours at CES and I've already found the absolute stupidest accessory at the show. If you want to add massive fail to your life, hop on over to Cell-Mate to check out this truly idiotic product, which is a piece of metal and Velcro that actually clips your cell phone to your head.

It sounds like a joke, but according to a couple of outlets, they are demonstrating this at CES!
More details on their site here, if you’ve managed to stop laughing. ...

... devices" allows you to, as per the ad copy, "[keep] your phone secure so that you can focus on other stuff...watch a movie, write an email, listen to music, drink a frappacino, all at the same time." (They also insist that using the Thighphone while driving is safer than holding it in your hand -- while conveniently forgetting you have to look DOWN to use your device, which means taking your eyes off the road. Not a good idea in anybody's book...) This may well rival the Cell-Mate in the "who thought this was actually a useful product?" category. ...
