Nothing is better then pulling out the ole laser pointer in class. Putting it on the teacher, on the chalk board, on some poor undetecting girls boobs….Anyways, if you could use a laser pointer for classroom antics or the board room Smart Dot is there to turn your iphone into one. You just plug it into the headphone jack and back into its aluminum stylus when not in use. Then you just fire up the app and now you have the ability to blind anyone! (but we do not recommend or condone that.) ($80)
