If Ozzy Osbourne flashes, you've had too much

Just in time for the Christmas season, the iBreath iPod breathalyser has hit the UK, keeping tabs on how much you've had to drink. Although if you're blowing into an iPod, we suspect you've had too much.

Described by manufacturer David Steele as the 'ultimate iPod accessory', the iBreath plugs into your player to monitor alcohol content in your blood. If it's too high, you shouldn't go anywhere near a car. If it's below the accepted limit, you can theoretically drive - although you might still get pulled if you drive erratically. And don't expect your reading to stand up as evidence in court. You might as well hand over a piece of paper from your mate Gary saying: 'He didn't have a drink. Honest'.

The iBreath sells for £55, which might seem a bit steep, but as it also doubles up as an FM transmitter for your car, that's not actually bad value.
