Stysen B01 i-Knock Personal Instant Messaging Notifier

Personally, having watched the video of the Stysen B01 i-Knock Personal Instant Messaging Notifier in action, as featured below, I suspect that this IM feedback gadget would drive me nuts in a matter of mere minutes but, if you’re looking for a USB based gadget that not only alerts you when contacts log-in to your IM program of choice but will even vocalise any emoticons that crop up in the resulting conversation there’s no doubt that the B01 i-Knock may appeal (albeit in a gloriously tacky way).

Designed to knock its head with its hammer each time a contact surfaces in your IM program (be it Skype, MSN, Yahoo, AIM, to name but a few) the i-Knock can also alert you with respect to new emails in your inbox and, should you not like the ‘out of the box’ samples used the i-Knock can also play MP3 samples of your choice that will be triggered by events such as contacts logging on, etc.
Compatible with Windows 2000 / XP / Vista systems, there’s no word concerning either availability or pricing concerning the B01 i-Knock at the time of writing.
