LONDON, ENGLAND - Sources have confirmed that Apple has begun location testing of its new user-friendly portable urinal iSquirt, set for release in the UK for late fall of 2008. The first prototype design, originally reported by CrunkGear, has been testing favorably with men in London's West End, where street fouling has become a nightly sport according to sources. Engineers will be making several design enhancements to the device once focus group research is complete. Early complaints of splash back are being addressed along with reports of difficulty hearing the auto-play music track triggered when urine hits the receptacle. The stronger the stream, the louder the music plays.
Insiders also indicate that Apple tested many (i) names like, iFlow which was immediately rejected when mistaken for a woman's portable Tampon dispenser. More obvious names like, iDrain, iPiss, iWiz, and iTinkle were also unanimously rejected by Apple as juvenile.
The masculine iSquirt moniker stuck when one staffer demonstrated popping a small hole in a water balloon while squeezing firmly, the resulting power-squirt soaked several staffers, sealing the deal for Jobs. Reports of iSquirt launching in the U.S. are still unconfirmed, citing that self-conscious Americans would be uncomfortable with the practice of urinating (draining the main vein) in the middle of a busy street.
Please check where this is... London? No way... english people... Definitely. But this picture was taken in Amsterdam, Leidseplein. Across from the Bulldog Cafe.
