Over on boing boing, some info about new technology for phones.

Aromaphones from Scotland. A Scottish company is working on cellphones that can generate odors on demand, so that users can send each other smells, as well as getting stinky "ringtones" from their handsets.

Dr Dodd told the Glasgow Herald his plans include distilling and delivering aromatherapy products by phone.

This brings up all kinds of questions. Can you transmit your own smells? How about have a different smell for each caller? I think I want candy smells. I was driving past the Necco factory last night and they were making candy. I think licorice from the smell of it.

Another thought. This brings turning off the ringer on your phone to a whole new level.
