(No Bluetooth jokes, please!) :D

I was just checking out the inquirer (http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=7978), and ran across this little gem. It looks real, and with the USB -> CF converter, we can actually use it! Now we just need that Pocket PC Shaver from the photoshopping contest a few months ago...

Yeah, and it's a good thing Sony didn't come up with USB - they'd change the specs and we'd all have to upgrade our toothbrushes. :D

Does this thing include software that switches to a different user profile depending on who is using the brush? It could also log your brushing habits and upload the data to your dentist so he/she knows if you are brushing often enough. :lol:

My guess is it probably just gets power from the USB port, but I think my ideas were funnier. :)

This is not the only USB appliance, there are more, like a USB Coffee holder/warmer/boiler, you plug it in the USB port and put your mug in the holder.
Daimaou has a couple of pictures of it on his site: HERE (http://forum.sorobangeeks.com/viewtopic.php?t=1633)

And this is the 'official' site: HERE (http://www.dct-net.co.jp/special/usb_hot.html)

Personaly I'm waiting for the USB mountain bike, which powers the front- and rear-light via the USB port of my laptop :sleeping: :way to go:
