Helio Launch Party

Helio Launch Party
What better way is there to promote your new mobile gadget than by throwing a party and giving them away to celebrities? Helio doesn't think that there is one because that is exactly what they did. Over the weekend, Danny Masterson from That 70's Show, hosted the Helio event in the Hollywood Hills that included 20 and 30-something celebrities like Milla Jovovich, Chloe Sevigny, Sophia Bush, Michelle Trachtenberg, Paris Lastis and Rachael Leigh Cook. In addition to free food and drinks, each of the attendees walked away with a brand new Kickflip.

For a full look at the Helio Kickflip, rather than going by a celebrity's recommendation, check out Engadget Mobile's hands-on look at it. The Kickflip itself costs $250, but service charges from Helio will run you quite a bit more.
