No Bluetooth, No Batteries Needed. You don't even need a 'calling plan'.

Recently I received this email asking if I wanted to 'test drive' iCups:

As the foremost guru on discovering the latest gadgets (huge fan of The Giz Wiz show), we would love you to experience the purest form of communication known to man. The iCups. 

Two high quality paper cups are connected by 64'' arts and crafts string to offer superior sound quality. No buttons, no apps, no screen to crack. Just simple, pure communication. Legendary Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak couldn't stop laughing at iCups (below is a proof)! We hope you and your subscribers love them as well!

Would you like to experience the latest in tech? Thanks, Magdim

Of course I wanted to! So I said yes and they sent some product samples.

And my real thoughts. At $9.99 this is a good gag gift for a techie person. The packaging is very clever, as is the illustrated “25 reasons reasons why iCups is superior to any smartphone on the market.” I'm assuming the $19.99 regular price on their website is part of the joke, because it's certainly not worth that.
