BERLIN (Reuters) - A German telecommunications company
said on Tuesday it is developing the first mobile
phone that will alert users when their breath is bad
or if they are giving off offensive smells.
The phone will use a tiny chip measuring less than one
millimeter to detect unpleasant odors, a spokeswoman
for Siemens Mobile said. A research team in the
southern city of Munich is developing the device using
new sensor technology.
"It examines the air in the immediate vicinity for
anything from bad breath and alcohol to atmospheric
gas levels," the spokeswoman said. "Some people take
smelling good rather seriously."
