*Sniff, Sniff* Your Ex is Calling: Smell-O-Phone

Motorola's been awarded a patent for a smell-o-phone that releases a scent when it heats up. Now, we'll avoid the question of whether or not this patent should have been awarded, given previous things like NTT DoCoMo's smell-o-phone and even that old standby, the Glade PlugIn, which seems to operate on the same general principle. We'll focus instead on the bigger question: who the hell would pay for something like this? Apparently, according to the Motorola employees that wrote the patent, "Some cellular telephone users are the same individuals who enjoy having plug-in scent units located around their homes, and may miss not having a nice smelling fragrance while they are on the go."
