Today on Boing Boing Gadgets, after we booted up with a sunrise test, we asked ourselves: do women really need a wild cherry steam thing, as LG implies? Brownlee wondered if people were really canceling their landlines because of the economy, and admired a DaVinci alarm clock and an ice pack for hemophiliacs. There was also musing on the base functions necessary for even the simplest cell phone. Conclusion: text messaging, at least, is a must. Joel likes an iPhone amplifier made without electronics and an airplane made out of rubbish. Brownlee snickered at a skull-painted netbook for "unique souls."
