New Cell Can Tell If You're Drunk

[Sequoia]

They were originally designed to simply make phone calls without tying callers to one location. But today's cell phones can do so much more, from snapping digital photos to sending text messages to playing video.

You can add one more feature to the list: a sobriety test.

That's right, cell phones with built-in Breathalyzers are set to hit the U.S. market. So after a night of too much to drink, you can pull out the device to see if you're fit to get behind the wheel.

South Korean manufacturer LG will introduce the LP4100 this year. The company placed several models on the market in that country last year and already has sold more than 200,000 units.

1. Bought time they made a useful option

2. Yes, but the owner still needs to be RESPONSIBLE.

Does anybody think anyone will puff into such a device, after paying $300 for the new model???

Apart from me, but as I've been called in the past, I am a geeky nerdy narky dork and therefore I would... but I'm a responsible human being. A rare breed.

3. I like this feature

"The LP4100 also allows users to set up the phone so on certain nights and after a certain time they do not call certain people in their phone book. Think ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend."
