iRing bonds Apple fan, gadget in holy matrimony
You know that feeling when you gaze into the eyes of your iPod or iPhone and imagine spending the rest of your life with that device? Who wouldn't want to lock into a endless bond with a gadget from this man? Soon it may be a possibility with the iRing, a conceptual design that symbolizes and eternal bond and includes quite a bit of functionality.
The iRing is the brainwork of Victor Soto. It's a fairly stylish ring with a lot of added functionality. The band acts as a touch-sensitive function strip. Swipe your finger across the band to control media playback and volume. It communicates with the iPhone or iPod via Bluetooth and even includes a cute docking cradle for when you want to take that out that cute Samsung, but not want anyone to know you are already committed.

this is just too much.

Um, I have yet to see/hear of an iPod with bluetooth, is Victor Soto going to invent that too?

Can we say "OVERKILL" boys and girls?

Duuuuuude sweeet. I'd buy it. The glowing apple is a bit overstated..maybe could turn down the brightness? I just ordered one.

you'd think that the apple fanboys would want to take out their ipod/iphone to be able to stare at it in all its perfection. guess they're trying to hide it with this device.

Really? You haven't "heard" or "see" the iPhone and/or the ipod touch? Both with bluetooth.

OMFG does anyone know where to buy this? seriously

Shouldn't this be called the 'iDo'?

umm the ipod touch doesn't have bluetooth, and the iPhone doesn't allow you to do much with it's bluetooth. Only headsets.
Nice try tho, thanks for playing ;)

This ring is ugly. Not up to apple design standards.
I like the functionality though.

What would Tyler Durden have to say?

While it may be true that there is no Bluetooth native to the iPod, I am sure that an add on module will be included when this is released. They have already done similar things with Bluetooth headphones. Because the iPod connector is universal across all mobile Apple products, I am sure they could work out something with the iTouch and iPhone as well.

i dont even care about the functionality, i just want the ring, the black one is hot. hope it comes a reality

OK...Apple fandom has officially entered the realm of "star wars nerd."
Nice. Glad they got their quarterly earnings so high this last quarter.
