Cool off with an "iPhone 4" fan

Most fake Apple products make us roll our eyes, but this one is cute. Mostly because it's not trying to be an iPhone. The "shockingly thick" device is actually a personal cooling device, or "fan."

To use it, slide off the real panel and remove the thin blue sponge inside. Get it wet, wring it out and put it back inside. Replace the back cover and then press the Home Button. The fan whirrs into action, providing the user with a cool, refreshing breeze. Keep the wind blowing by recharging the internal Lithium-ion battery by connecting to your Mac's USB port.

Pro tip: add a little perfume to the sponge for scented refreshment.

hey guys, this is made by some crappy shanzai factory and it is selling all over in those China online stores, such as Taobao and alibaba... I believe this "iPhone 4" fan will somehow offence Apple iphone trademark! anyway, reading Engadget's comment section, i found a site called KOgadget selling it for $9.90, if you "desperately" want one, go and get one! before the iPolice looks for them!

Pretty sure they are already on Apple's radar... I wonder how much they spent in creating this item only to soon have it pulled. When will people learn?
