Introducing iTaser: The ‘Stylish’ Stun Gun

January 8th, 2007

It’s not really called iTaser, but it will probably be all the rage with the Hollywood slapper set anyway.

Via: BBC:

US stun gun maker Taser is unveiling a sleeker version of its controversial weapon aimed at safety and fashion conscious members of the public.

Available in pink, blue, silver and black, the gun fits into a handbag like a mobile phone. It will be launched at a Las Vegas electronics fair on Monday.

Taser guns temporarily incapacitate a target with up to 50,000 volts.

Critics have linked their use to dozens of deaths, but Taser says they save lives by reducing the use of firearms.

…

“The new device brings our life-saving technology into a new, consumer friendly form factor designed to provide a safer, effective means of personal protection,” said Taser’s chairman, Tom Smith.
