Motorola Patents Shocking New Silent Alert System

[brad]

The new system, designed to overcome the shortcomings of the common vibrating alert, notifies the user of new calls and messages using mild electric shock.Read the full story here (http://www.mobileburn.com/news.jsp?Id=2314).

Hmmm perhaps this can solve the woes of the N90 and 9300 users? If it's done over bluetooth anyways...that would be awesome

They could have one of those catchy phrases, like..

Got Cancer?

What if someone suffers a heart-attack or something due to this? Can he/she sue motorola?

Wouldn't it be just a wonderful sensation, you've put your phone on discreet (silent doesnt vibrate or nothing for me) and you get an electric shock.

Its either gonna be mild, not to affect anybody with cardiac problems (or other electro-sensitive individuals) and so being too mild to actually be felt, or the opposite.

Why make it so advance?!

Just place a needle in the phone that will comes out and poke the user upon receiving a call, truely slient if the user don't scream... no extra pad to carry and charge, no power needed on standby, won't be hacked unlike wireless connection, :D

Needle coming out of phone seems a little scay to me:rolleyes:

If it could be used elsewhere, other than just a Motorola thing, I'm all for it:D

[Jose_R.A.M]

Lol, they could go ultra advance and work on the bone conduction principle.

haha, maybe even go the opposite, low tech zen telepathy :p j/k

I hope they will make high power version, can place in my shoes for a foot massage/therapy when calls come in, :D

Anyway, the idea could be a hit if Motorola can partner with makers for fashion, accessories, footwear and etc, :)
