ThinkGeek IRIS 9000 promises to make 2012 a desk-bound odyssey

The comparisons between Siri and HAL 9000 were pretty tough to prevent, and the folk at ThinkGeek have now come through to do what they do best: take things to a daft extreme. For that reason, that is available in the shape of the IRIS 9000, a well-recognized-looking fellow that doubles as a dock on your iPhone 4S. It has a remote that permits you to activate Siri from afar, a built-in mic and speaker that allows you to interact with Siri (or make phone calls) and, after all, a glowing red LED eye that makes Siri suitably menacing. Now, ThinkGeek have been known to supply some faux products previously, but last we checked it wasn’t April Fools’ day , and the corporate has assured us that here is indeed real and set to be available within the spring of next year for $60. Video of your new favorite desk mate is after the break.
