This has to be the dumbest mobile accessory I have ever seen....

Wow! I'll keep this product in mind if I ever find the need to strap my laptop to the side of my head. For the moment, I think my Bluetooth headset will suffice. :-D Thanks for the laugh!

What a terrible invention................nothing like putting all those cell waves up against your head. The hands-free part is only ONE reason people use a real headset.

This coming from the guy who spent $200 on a android app last weekend........you could buy 800 of those for that price, and give them away on crackberry.com. I think it is not a bad idea at all.

This is really funny! I have never seen One of this (thank Good). I think I would bust out laughing in front of the person. I think is is deffinitely useful for the laptop when using Skype. LOL

The question remaining is that if you have the phone on your hear with the "headset" while driving, why the mat offer?

Thank you for helping me have a good start this Monday morning.

Perfect! Now I don't need to bring a bag to school for my laptop! I'll just strap it to my face.

I need this device. My jawbone era will not stay on my ear.

I don't think it's a bad idea. Lol. I would rock one! Not in public though. Just as how I would never rock a blue tooth ear piece in public

Sharing this with my wife to humor her this morning she reminded me about a photo we received via e-mail a while back. The picture was of a guy with his cell phone rubber banded and taped to his head while driving. She is right; I remember now! I think this guy got this idea from that picture! LOL

Hilarious!
Kevin, you should get one, its the perfect accessory for any honeymoon ;)

This is no worse than the people I see walking around with their phones tucked up in their baseball caps. That's the ORIGINAL poor-man's handsfree lol

I saw them for sale at the beast from bentonville store about a month ago. I would never in a million years buy or wear one I'm just waiting to see someone wearing one in public.

You know what would be a really cool accessory in the year 2020 ? Augmented reality contact lens connected to your smartphone.. Ooh I better pattent that before crapple does ..

Kevin, I say you order about 50 of these bad boys and then hold a contest for 50 "Editors' Choice", mystery, handsfree devices. Give one to each winner and wait for the comedy to happen :p

How do I order?

BILLY MAYS HERE!!.....To sell you a.....headband?.....with a suction cup on one end?....

Pass..... give it to the ShamWow guy.

Hillarious and dumb... But it gets the job done XD.

Couldn't agree more. I laughed out loud when I first saw this on TV.

I saw this on the show Workahloics! I thought it didn't exist but wow..

It's a whole lot better than sticking Velcro to your cheek everyday!

Horseshoes for the whole family!

These are sold in the 'As Seen on TV' section at Dollar General. I don't know how much they were asking for them due to my eyes rolling.

I would use it in the car or office honestly.

As silly as it may appear I could actually see myself getting some use out of this. I answer phones at work all the time and have to push out emails or look stuff up and this would be a lot more comfortable than holding the phone between my head and shoulder. Also I love to be active while I'm on the phone so this would work. I know a lot of people will tell me to get a bluetooth headset but I dislike them quite a bit and to get a good one it costs over $100!!! I can get 4 with the offer for $10. I know it looks silly and more than likely won't be widely adopted (then again who knows) but, I have to disagree with you Kevin. I would put my money towards this before I would ever consider buying a $500 Clock App or a $200 Android App. You Crazy lol

I get it but its just so ugly looooooooooool

I think a giant rubber band would do the same thing.

LOL!

I would love to see somebody rocking a GoJo with a Galaxy Note!

My sister and I were riding the tram up to the Getty Museum (LA) last week and a woman had a full-size telephone ear-mouth thingie plugged into her cellphone and was using it. It was a Princess Phone PINK. I could only think she had a hearing problem and could not deal with an in-ear setup.

I feel like slapping this guy. For real though we can make fun of this dude all we want. People are actually buying this crap and he's probably rolling in dough.

Im just upset I didnt think of this. Could be rolling in the dough on all the people that "will" send their money in to get this. Phone probably wont stay stuck, and headband will probably stretch out of shape. It will end up in the kitchen drawer with all the rest of the junk, but I would still have cash rolling into the bank. Grrrr, got to come up with an invention!

Lol... +1 Kev

Yep I've seen the commercial. First time I was on the edge of my seat, waiting for the punchline... and then (like Kevin) I realized it was a for-real gadget they were pushing. For actual landlines, there are multiple wireless headsets available.

For mobile, there are also multiple Bluetooth headsets available. (Often for free/discount when you buy your device)

But, like any business, the whole point is to make money. And I'm sure there are a bunch of suckers who will buy this, and therefore make somebody richer. It doesn't matter how crappy it is -- all that matters is that people WILL buy it.

LOL what a piece of crap

"even the weight of a five pound laptop" (shows macbook suction cupped to his head)

That ad is absolutely amazing... I've seen this... but it makes you look like a douche if you wear one

LMAO. That's as bad as the CARm Sleeve commerical which is meant to be a joke. Anybody see that one?

Sorry to burst bubbles but i have seen that a few months back. It is stupid in its own. Wonder if they even sold any.

LOL I'm going to get two, one side my bold and the other playbook. Just hoping I don't stumble into quick sand and sink immediately! Now where is my weight shaker......

This is going to be perfect for when I need to answer the phone while doing backflips.

DUDE...really?

Oh, I found one very much or the same as I saw:

http://www.amazon.com/Yubz-Mobile-Phone-Retro-Handset/dp/B001O7VZMK

Saw that in Trackball Lights a while back.

I want to laugh too... Sadly, being behind a corporate firewall that restricts ALL streaming media I have no idea what the fuss is about.

A search for "gojo" turns up a bunch of hand cleaning products.

There's no description, no external link and no still of the product.

But hey who cares about the corporate people. RIM obviously doesn't anymore so why should crackberry?

What? View it at home you say? Well that's a brilliant idea I never thought of that! Thanks!

WTF, No CB contest to win one of these! It could really come in handy when I have a beer in each hand.

Then again I only talk on the phone for about 5 minutes a month vs the hours of BBMing so I could probably use a ring with a suction cup more than a headband with one.

He is probably making more money now than any of us right now!!!

Oops... I accidentally ordered 800 of these things. Who wants one?

Hey, uhmmmm, Kevin? As penance for going all Android on us, you have to sport one for an upcoming Mobile Nations podcast...lmao and keep it on the entire episode.

I almost Shat myself when I first saw this commercial. To funny. Can't wait to see people driving around with them lol.

I bet his stock is selling for more than $10....

Glad they send you two, I need to use two to hold my brick on. ROFLMAO

I think it's a little silly but not as stupid as Kevin made it sound.

At least he put some thought into it...almost 2 years ago, I was behind a guy in a coffee shop with what looked like an underwear waist band holding his phone to his head! I almost fell over laughing.

I can see the appeal for people with disabilities where something like a Bluetooth would be too inconvenient or expensive but I just about died when he used it WITH A CORDED PHONE.

I'd try this out for the office phone. I hate using speakerphone, especially the cheap half-duplex ones at my office, so this would be a good way to be on a conference call without getting a crick in my neck. Wonder if it really works.

EDIT: BestBuy sells them for $10 for 2 and available for in-store pickup. Risk free trial at its finest (well, except for BBY taking your driver's license to return stuff).

I just got a bunch. Be selling them at the Compton swap meet this weekend for half price

OLD...

Just use it to attach to your blackberry, but you'll need a case for it. Lol

Actually, that looks useful. Currently what I do when I want to switch from the phone to a headset and do it without interrupting the conversation I need to put the earbud in my ear and then slip the plug into the jack so I don't miss a part of the conversation. It's not easy. This would allow a seamless transition from hands to no hands.

A local radio station here in Orlando had the "inventor" on the air in the last few months......They have moved well over a million units since it went on sale.

kevin,
Im not sure if u will read this but wanted to share this anyway.
I follow u on ur personal twitter account and today saw ur tweet about how u taught android users on hw to get refund even after the 15 min window. But to be frank those people donot appreciate your efforts and simply bash u without any good reason. I think mobile nations world tour is a good initiative and knowing the competition is important. but at the same time i dont think u shuld post there and get bashed for no reason. just sharing coz felt bad after reading some comments. we'll show them what blackberry and blackberry people are once BB10 hits the market.
cheers.

Looks like the perfect BB10 accessory. Oh wait, unlike the GoJo, BB10 doesn't exist...
