Cellphone Breathalyzer Edit



Cellphone Breathalyzer

As if today’s cellphones don’t already have enough features, Japan has gone ahead and added one more… DoCoMo has a new model that is a breathalyzer and cellphone combination. Initially marketed to larger limousine and cab companies to monitor their employees alcohol levels before they hit the road, the history of technology tells us that a trendy personal model can’t be far behind!

KDDI Corp has developed a breathalyzer/cellphone combo that prevents inebriated taxi and bus drivers in Japan from getting behind the wheel. Companies that buy the phone will require their employees to blow into the breathalyzer before getting behind the wheel. The phone then measures how drunk (or sober) you are and sends the results to your company's computer along with a snapshot of the your mug and your location. The phone and software cost a combined $1,250, which shouldn't be too much money for a big company to spend. (ubergizmo)
