[/floatr]BusinessWeek: Sony Ericsson Debuts Scent Phone in Japan
Apple is not the only kit maker causing waves with its latest device. Japanese mobile giant NTT DoCoMo has launched handsets promising scents and a double screen. The DoCoMo mobile 'smelly phone' is the SO703i from Sony Ericsson, which uses scented sheets that produce an aroma when the device is opened. The operator said the scent sheets are designed to relax users during a phone call, according to Reuters. The clamshell will be available from next month...DoCoMo has cheekily named its double-screen handset the D800iDS - no doubt highlighting its resemblance to the Nintendo DS gaming device. The DoCoMo device opens like a book with a normal screen on one half and a touchscreen on the other, allowing users to input data using their fingers or a stylus.
