Hey Look at this ,Linus can have another example for unnecessary things that companies do for his Dollar Shave Club Sponsor.

 

The new toothbrush records brushing activity (with the help of Oral-B app on smartphones) which can be shared with dental professionals for better treatment.

 

 

Oral-B has launched an electric toothbrush which comes with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. The brush connects to smartphones with the help of Oral-B's app which allows you to choose different brushing routines. The app will be available for iOS devices only which will be launched in May. The Android version of the app will be available in August.

The Bluetooth-enabled toothbrushes help you to realize how good or bad your oral hygiene is, so that you can use the brush for better results. The app will help you to keep track of your brushing-time and just as an add-on, it will also show news and weather reports (so that you don't get bored with brushing). The app notifies users when they are putting too much pressure on their teeth and also assists in moving to different areas of the mouth. Oral-B has already launched toothbrushes with similar concept but those did not come with measuring hardware like the latest one. The new brush will just use your smartphone for tips and keeping track of your brushing.

The toothbrush will be available at the prices of $390 and $420 for "Pro 6000" and "Limited Edition Pro 6500" models respectively which is way too much for technology that this gadget packs. Hopefully Oral-B will price it reasonably once it launches the product in other countries.

The toothbrush will be available in limited quantities in Germany this spring. Oral-B is looking to launch the SmartSeries worldwide in June 2014.

Damn son, that is just ridiculous.

Yeah no, I'm not going to have a 400$ toothbrush

[Askew]

I am never in my life buying a $400 toothbrush get to fuck.

[Leonard]

This sort of company leadership causes companies to crash. I will never pay US$400 for a toothbrush unless this toothbrush can ensure that i never ever have to go to the dentist again for anything.

What the fuck

 

I thought it was expensive buying a frkken named manual toothbrush as it is.

[Syntaxvgm]

Why?

[KemoKa]

It looks like Linus is gonna have to be sponsored by a Dollar Brush Club.

Oral-b please get the fuck out of tech and stick with hygiene! Seriously for the love of god, no apps, no 400 dollar toothbrushes that connect to your phone

I think it is fine to have a toothbrush with these features, but not for that price. Been thinking about getting an electric toothbrush myself, just not at this price haha.

[Wauthar]

Has it gone too far? I think so...
