Geek out with the Star Trek Communicator Phone

So you've got the plastic stick-on ears, the replica sweater and a smattering of Klingon. What else do you need to make you the ultimate Trekkie? You need the Star Trek Communicator Phone. Yes, we said 'Communicator Phone'. You see, this isn't just a replica toy to flash about at the next convention, it's a useful bit of everyday technology, allowing you to 'boldly go' into the world of Skype internet calling. Just plug it into the USB port of your computer (PC or Mac, it's compatible with both) and you can chat about the latest gossip on the Star Trek message boards, movie plot inaccuracies or the state of William Shatner's hair. Hell, you can even talk about non-Trek stuff too. Those buttons work for volume and of course, you get the authentic sounds so you can play along at home. Heading to a sci-fi store near you in April, price still to be confirmed. Link: Dream Cheeky (via Gizmodo )   (link)
