Say hello to IRIS 9000... which should not be confused with HAL 9000 from the 1968 Sci-Fi film 2001: A Space Odyssey... but the striking resemblance is eerie.
The IRIS 9000 is an ingenious iPhone 4S docking station designed to make Siri another member of your family in 2012. A single-button, micro remote allows you to activate Siri from across the room. The built-in mic picks up your voice so you can bark commands from 50 feet away. An embedded speaker amplifies Siri's monotone speaking voice which should help you impress friends and annoy family members all day long.
One of the best features contained in this tower of artificial life is the glowing red eye that flickers with every cadence of Siri's voice. The IRIS 9000 also works as a standard speakerphone to send and receive calls hands-free, making it an easy sell to wifey.
IRIS 9000 is the kind of essential Sci-Fi gear that should have your geek juices flowing at first glance. It's less about need and more about must-have. The IRIS 9000 is only compatible with iPhone 4S and it's coming from ThinkGeek in 2012 for a mere $60 bucks. The overwhelming feelings of smug superiority come free upon delivery.
