Why Your Cel Phone Will Be Your Best Friend

Frankly, I wasn’t sure what they could add to cel phones to make them any more helpful. Mine already comes equipped with a compass, a mirror, a toothpick and a shoehorn, so I figured companies were running flat out of ideas, until I saw this: the cel phone breathalyzer. The beauty of the LG Electronic’s LP4100 isn’t just that it analyzes your breath and determines whether you shouldn’t be driving (which it cleverly indicates by showing you a cute animated car swerving and crashing into things). More importantly, it actually prevents you from drunk dialing! You can preset the phone so that once you’ve imbibed more than you should’ve, the stubborn phone refuses to dial whatever numbers the sober you wasn’t looking to call: whether it’s your ex, your parents, your boss or your late night food delivery service. Anyway, the phone’s already a hit in Korea (where they have A LOT of exes, parents, bosses and late-night food deliverers), and should be coming stateside later this year.   Click here to read more (via ShinyShiny)
