On occasion, a new tune I hear on my iPod causes me to tap my feet or even lip-synch along, and I suspect Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) is OK with that. The same cannot be said for the iGasm, though. iGasm is a new device marketed in the U.K. that is attached to the iPod on one end and to a female listener's mommy bits on the other. The audio feed is translated into vibrations that turn the music into a whole-body experience. In other words, the iGasm is a sex toy!

I doubt Apple has an institutional bias against female orgasms, but News of the World reports it reacted to the pilfering of the trade name, and more adamantly, the copyright infringement on its silhouette motif, by sending a strongly worded cease-and-desist letter.

The product (in Apple white) comes with two silicone 'ticklers' that supposedly respond to the audio feed, especially the base part. While we await the outcome of Apple's challenge, feel free to suggest ideal song lists for an iGasm. I'm thinking some Dick Dale surf rock.
