"Listen...Do You Smell That?"

Now, I'm all for new technology but when I came across this mobile story this morning it really peaked my interest.

The Japanese company NTT DoCoMo is experimenting with the ability to send "Scents" ala perfume to your cellphone on demand!

The Washington Post reports:

"Scent playlists can be downloaded from "i-mode" mobile Web site run by the company's affiliate, NTT DoCoMo.

The service uses a handset's infrared port to transfer the "fragrance data" to a dedicated device similar to a plug-in air freshener that is loaded with a cartridge of base fragrances.

The device then mixes them to create the chosen smell, which it then wafts out."

They are also using scents to enhance Tokyo FM's music program "Tapestry Radio" where they want you to smell the music! Read More about it here. You can purchase the phones here but you have to know how to read Japanese to buy it.

If the "Smell-O-Phone" has arrived...how far off is HD "Smell-O-Vision!"
