Smell my couscous

The next generation of phone devices is there! A device from NTT that allows you to send fragrances (which is a beautiful and classy name for complex odors, so some basic marketing there) is set for commercialization soon. It works this way: you compose the desired smell on your mobile phone or you use one of a set of pre-programmed smells, and then send these to a smell generation device that is nearby using the mobile phone's infrared port. You can also sent the smell by email. This could allow you to send smells to people around the world provided they have the necessary device. The price? Around 200 dollars (200.000 yen).
I can't wait to see the miniature version of all this so that I could send some free smells that last 10 seconds from my Facebook account :D
