iGasm Faces iLegal Action

by Evan Shamoon on May 30, 2007 at 12:10 PM



If you're not keeping up with your sex gadgets, here's a recap: The iGasm is a vibrator that attaches to your iPod (or laptop, or whatever), and vibrates in sync with the beat of your music. Whether you prefer the soft, jazzy touch of Kenny G. or the comedic pounding of Tenacious D., the device promises good times.

Unfortunately, the company behind the iGasm, Ann Summers, also stole blatantly from Apple's iconic silhouette iPod ads, which has led Steve Jobs and friends to take legal action. Apple has requested that the advert be taken down before it resorts to further legal actions, to which the company's CEO Jacqueline Gold responded: "Perhaps I can send them an iGasm to put a smile back on their faces."

We're guessing she really enjoyed that (the quote is actually on the Ann Summers website now).
