The Ultimate Geek Christmas Card

Posted by samzenpus on from the when-you-care-to-send-the-geekiest dept.

An anonymous reader writes "CNET reports on the world's most geeky Christmas card, and also the most expensive. The card is made out of a 1st gen iPhone, hacked into a Christmas card using cardboard, paper and glue. The card includes a virtual 'bauble' which uses the iPhone's accelerometer to recreate Christmas decorations that bounce and move with the card. The makers of the card say that because of the iPhone's battery life 'you probably don't want to post it anywhere it will take more than 3 days to arrive.'"

  1. Iphones are not very geeky by moep · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I remember a friend of mine signing a birthday card with a handwritten gnupgp signature ... thats geeky those fancy fanboy phones are not.

  2. Seems more like an advert by thetoadwarrior · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This article (and the cnet one to be fair) seems more like an advert for for a boring little iPhone app.

  3. iPhone geeky? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Since when is the iPhone "geeky"? It's mainstream AND against any software developer who needs an open environment to create and run applications. So it's an anti-geek christmas card.
