Smellophone Stirs Up Interest

Guess the final frontier where cell phones are concerned will finally be broken with the Smellophone - this chip might be able to usher in a whole new era of phones as it aims to send scents through cell phones, with the hope of seeing the final chip hit the market two years from now. It is tipped to churn out around 100 different prefabricated scents on the chip, so hopefully no fart smells will be able to be received on the other end. There is no need for additional hardware, as all you need is a mobile scent phone and a chip which works through SMS and MMS. Good thing the user can choose to accept or reject an incoming scent message just in case the sender wants to play a practical joke with an electronic stink bomb.
