I figure if you can shell out the cash for an iPhone, you can probably afford this toy too!  I saw this over at Engadget Mobile and I was blown away at the cost … well, the way I see it, some folks probably would get this to compliment their iPhone investment (?).

How It Works

The GPRS iBall has its own mobile phone SIM card. It connects to the cellular networks. To send a message to the GPRS iBall, simply send an SMS text message to the number you will be supplied. After a minute or two your message will be seen on the GPRS iBall.

But wait until you see the cost … WOW!!!  Check it out over at Engadget Mobile
