And now, presenting a combination 1GB mp3 Player/Taser.
http://opinion.latimes.com/bitplayer/2008/01/gadget-of-the-d.html

You know what a bother it is to carry both your MP3 music player and your Taser gun?

Worry no more.

Today at CES, Taser International introduced the Taser MPH -- the first combination hand-held music player and Taser.

The player, which has a 1-GB capacity that can hold about 150 songs, is embedded in a holster that slips on your belt. Feel the need to zap someone and you can unholster the Taser, use the built-in laser pointer to aim, and blam -- a couple of darts carrying 50,000 volts hits your victim.

And you don't have to miss a beat.


Imagine if I posted this baby in GD!

1. Does it have an SD expansion slot?
'cause if so I can triple the storage space. They were having a sale on one brand of 2GB SD cards right before christmas and I snagged one. :)
