Mo-Pods

This particular post is dedicated to all the GGs (Gadget Gurus). I recently read in a local newspaper that a new gadget called the “Mo-Pod” has been introduced in the market. Very few places in India though.. These Mo-Pods resemble our usual key chains and can be attached to belts, clothing and of course to our mobiles. Now what does this Mo-Pod really do and what does it look like? They are actually dome shaped articles that encapsulate little characters like pups, kittens, penguins, hens, etc. So when attached to our mobile phone, and if there is an incoming call or message, this character, will swirl and flash in different colors. This is how they look like..



One of the users of this Mo-Pod had commented that “This gadget is very useful when we keep our phone in the silent mode”. Now this statement intrigued me a lot. What is the purpose of keeping the phone in silent mode? Obviously we mean not to disturb or distract our neighbors .If a pup flashes in different colors, dances and wags it tail, do you really think that it serves the purpose of keeping your phone in the silent mode?

The next important thing.. Cost? These funny, cute little things cost around Rs.450..!!

O tush!! I prefer keeping my mobile in the loud mode!!! :-P

cool post..from the age of "mopeds" , we are now into mopods..! India is fast catching up..but yes I can't see it serving any real purpose other than it being a show gimmick.. but if it works out even when the phone is in silent( but not vibratory) mode.. it would be a boon to us guys who struggle and squirm when the cell vibrates as if there is no tomorrow from our pant pockets..

I'm quite surprised that why you are not interested in it. Cause usually women do love toys and it'll be quite funny ..
I feel the "Mopod" is not a thing that must be bought but it must be a very very good gift to the person u'd wish to give...:)
