Comments on ‘Japanese carrier to test smell-o-vision phone kit’

Could be interesting

Prank calls would be hilarious - I'd be constantly ring up my mates and farting down the phone at them!

Phewwy! 

Remind me not to use that kit to phone any pig farmers or to call the effluent engineer at the local water company!

So are these completly hack proof, or could the BOFH be busy filling my house with the smell of fresh poo as I drive home?

Bill, because he stinks too

wow

Seriously, the Japanese never cease to amaze me with how... just... out there they really are.

PH because she needs her own sent.

The Japanese crucified Santa Claus 

and it seems that they haven't quite got the hang of April fool's day either.

Phone sex anyone?

I wonder if this will make phone sex more popular?

to be honest... 

Coat

i think the idea stinks

coat donned, taxi called.

A thought

Inquiring BOfHs want to know--when will the strommburg (or whatever that year-old canned fish) scent be avaliable?

Mine's the rainslicker...

"watch cartoons with appropriate smells"

South Park Season 1 Episode 10 - "Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo"

What a load of crap..... 

Alert

This kit will never work unless the Jap chaps invent the smell equivalent of echo-cancellation.

Without that, imagine if the other end 'turn up the volume' and stick an even heavier 'dose' right back at you?

not imaginative enough 

Come on, this is from the country that sells (or used to) used panties in vending machines.

Yes, whatever kinky scent your westernized brain can image, and dozens more that you wouldn't ever think of, will be sold in the little sex shops that abound in certain sections of Tokyo...

I'd prefer the Wasp T-10 Speechtool's thermotones, although I have heard that you can't use them in either Central London or Hull, due to interference from the London Aquarium and the Deep causing the anti-shark action to go haywire.

The inclusion of every known integer on the keypad is nice though.

1 week Late.... 

Happy

April Fools was last week guys, Who has ever heard such rubbish....

Eww... 

Umm, since tons o' people carry their phones in their back pockets....don't they already have smell'o'vision?

One of the reasons I only use flip phones....don't need the mike filling up w/ my beanie dinner waffs.....then putting my mouth there...

John Waters must be thrilled ... 

Thumb Up

... to see Odorama(R) taken to the next level. (See http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082926/ for details.)

What do you think of Apple's Time Capsule?

I'm after for a network-connected HD, and this seems the best option - good router, integrated drive, only one power cable, suitable for PCs as well as Macs.

Mac OS X Tiger out, Leopard back in

I couldn't resist. I went back to Leopard. I've been running Apple's latest operating system for well over a month now, originally 10.5.1 and now 10.5.2, with no untoward effects...
