SKIRMISHER

Ichiro Kameda’s two-man company, creator of a dildo called the gPod, is the current target in Apple’s gunsight. The reason: because of the darned “Pod” in gPod.

Kameda’s commercial pride and joy is actually a women’s sex aid worn inside her most intimate orifices and buzzing her with good vibrations when set off by sound.

Though the Japanese Patent Agency gave him the right to use the devise in August last year, and the trademark he chose for the product was approved two months later, he still hasn’t been able to sell. The problem? He called the product the gPod, presumably after the G-Spot and jii, the Japanese word for masturbation. Kameda has since found out his choice of product name was like, well, taking a bite out of a rotten apple.

A woman is supposed to insert the gPod in her [insert any euphemism here because I don't want to say the word "pussy"], then the unique dildo vibrates whenever it hears sound. In other words, the kind of music clip determines the user’s level of satisfaction.

Despite all the love missives Apple’s legal representatives have been firing off to stop the gPod’s release, Kameda plans to launch the device anyway in Japan by the end of the month. That’s the spirit.
