Remember the i.Saw we showed you a few days ago? We’re glad to tell you the device isn’t real. It was all a prank or better yet, a viral message telling us how important Mother Nature is!

A few people went ahead and pre-ordered the device. They received the following message:

Hello.

We love that you liked the i.Saw enough to pre-order.

Truth is, you already own a chainsaw. Your keyboard.

The i.Saw certainly made an impression and everyone that saw it will remember to cut down on unnecessary printing. Feel free to pass along the message!

Call me old-fashioned but I am happy with just an USB mouse attached to my laptop. Some people on the other hand would like something more exciting connected to their computer, like a chainsaw for example. What would you do with it that’s really beside the point. What matters is that the i.Saw is both cool and dangerous at the same time. Just crazy enough to impress your friends! Would you get one? Is it even legal for people to sell it as a computer accessory? Well it looks like it is. For $59.95 + shipping and handling you’re going to have this baby shipped to any address in the world this September.
