Introducing the iBreath Breathalyzer & FM Transmitter for iPod from David Steele Enterprises. The iBreath gadget allows the user to check their breath alcohol content. The iBreath is an innovative gadget designed to operate with the iPod.
Just fold out the blow wand and exhale into it for at least 5 seconds. 2 seconds later, this amazing tool let’s you know if you’re within the legal limit to drive. It even houses a timer that can be set from 1 minute up to 8 hours in order to remind you when it’s time for the next test.
