Dumb invention?
Actually, a great way to get around the 'hands-free' law while driving.

I have a blue-tooth, hands-free device, but it takes more effort to use while driving than just using the phone (the regular way) and takes may attention away from driving more so than just that phone by itself..

I plug my phone into the audio jack of my car - works great.

^Agreed. It doesn't have to be recharged, it can't run out of charge, there aren't any interference problems and it's probably dirt cheap. I want one.

Pfft.

It all depends on the performance of that suction cup, I suppose.

It reminds me of the Muslim women who go in head scarfs around here--they can tuck a cell phone against one ear under the scarf and it sits tight. It works pretty much the same as this guy's idea.

I like the idea, but didn't he do a simple product search ?
or hell, even the domain itself - http://www.gojo.com/ . It's a brand of hand cleaner (good stuff too) that's been around for years.
I don't see how he isn't infringing on the brand/trademark "gojo", so a lot of legal battles ahead...

And how would it be possible to put that on using only 1 hand while driving?
or does he expect you to have phone tied to your head the entire time driving, even if not on a phone call ?

Oh, and lastly - cancer. Do you want a high-powered cell phone transmitter next to your brain, or a low powered bluetooth headset?

I'm sorry, how exactly do you put this shit on while on the freeway? The phone is ringing - what do you do? and lets say its ok for driving, you KNOW you won't be caught dead with it outside your car. Its a great one-off product, but eventually I would say it will be picking up dust somewhere on some shelf in your garage.

I know it looks dumb, hardly counts as an innovation of any kind, but damn, how much less rude would it be when you're talking with someone and instead of saying 'hold on, I gotta take this call', you say, 'wait a mo! I gotta get GOJO on, know what I mean mofo? GOJO! hello? hello? GOJO!'

Gojo?? Trademarked name of a gelatinous hand cleaner-This guys can't be trying to convince people to wear their damn microwave devices that close to their skulls?
Get off the fucking phone, Joe!?

It looks stupid but if you're on your own like I am working from home and making relatively short calls then it seems like an ok idea.

Good pitch as well, got me past the point to where it felt like a genuine offer and not some parody.

Trademarks are only supposed to protect against similar products. It would be trademark infringement to make another soap or cleanser and call it Gojo. A shampoo would probably be considered too similar; maybe something cleaning-related like a sponge or scrubbing brush, too. A headband with a suction cup is not in the same market so it shouldn't be in violation.

The microwaves that are emitted by a cell phone are non-ionizing and thus, not linked to cancer. They're in the same carcinogen group (2B) as coffee and pickles.
