		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;modern high heels&#8221; phone is the perfect gadget for the..uh..person who collects novelty handsets. What? People have collected far weirder things. At least this one is useful.

It would have been a funny device if the shoe was actually the phone, instead of this weird bloated inner foot form thingy.

On the plus side,&#8230;]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The &#8220;modern high heels&#8221; phone is the perfect gadget for the..uh..person who collects novelty handsets. What? People have collected <a href="http://www.sahio.com/25-weirdest-collections/">far weirder things</a>. At least this one is useful.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="shoe_phone" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/shoe_phone.jpg" alt="shoe_phone" width="600" height="504" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-20589" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/high-heels-telephone.jpg" alt="high-heels-telephone" width="600" height="232" /></p>
<p>On the plus side, it&#8217;s cheaper than most real high heeled shoes would cost you, selling for $22 (USD) over at <a href="http://www.gadget4all.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=01089">gadget4all</a>. On the minus side, they are phones that look like fugly high heels and who uses land-line phones anymore? Maybe this is what Maxwell Smart would have used for his calls if he were a cross-dresser.</p>

Or is it for people who want to look like they&#8217;re smokers? Regardless, you sure will look goofy making your phone calls into this thing.

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3539 aligncenter" title="handsfree_phone_cigarett" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/handsfree_phone_cigarett.jpg" alt="Handsfree Cigarette Box Handset for Mobile Phones" width="520" height="461" /></p>
<p>This ridiculous device plugs into your cell phone and lets you make calls by speaking into the cigarette box. Don&#8217;t ask me. I don&#8217;t get it either. I suppose the good news is that you shouldn&#8217;t end up with lung cancer from using these cigs. And thanks to its &#8220;Anti-Electromagnetic Waves&#8221; capability, brain cancer won&#8217;t be a problem either.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-3540 aligncenter" title="handsfree_headset_cigarette" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/handsfree_headset_cigarette.jpg" alt="Handsfree Cigarette Box Handset for Mobile Phones" width="520" height="520" /></p>
<p>I guess one good thing is that at $6.79 a pack, they&#8217;re actually cheaper than real cigarettes in some big cities, so go nuts and grab a whole carton and make a whole mess of phone calls. If you just can&#8217;t resist the urge to light up, you can grab a pack over on <a href="http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14724">DealExtreme</a>.</p>
