Captain Kirk Communicator

Captain Kirk Communicator

For a true Trekker, the ending of this series will always hurt. Thankfully, one company knows how to bring back some of the main character’s goodies, like Captain Kirk’s Communicator 

The iconic device used by characters to communicate with the spaceship and the crew is a dream come true. The Wand Company used 3D scans of the original prop from 1966 and designed a speaker that connects to your smartphone, enabling you to receiving calls, can access Siri or Google Now or just play music if you’re in a groovy mood. When you press one of the buttons, the gadget activates the virtual assistant, while pressing another will act play clips from the show.

Did Captain Kirk use a flip phone?

He has said that watching Captain Kirk using his communicator on the television show Star Trek inspired him with a stunning idea – to develop a handheld mobile phone. He and his team took only 90 days in 1973 to create the first portable cellular 800 MHz phone prototype.
