Seriously, Samsung, what the heck is with the scented cellphone patents?
This isn't the first, or even the second time you've thought to put
pockets of perfume in a handset. This latest patent is slightly
different from earlier concepts,
we suppose. We see this one has a scent refilling station built into
the charging dock. So, when you set the phone down to charge the
battery, it also "charges" the aromatic sponge in the body. It's also
notable that this isn't a passive scented strip or a spraying mechanism.
Instead the "absorbant material" is heated, either by the battery
directly or by circuitry triggered as part of an alert. So, every time
your hippy buddy calls, your phone could blast Phish and fill the air
with the scent of patchouli (or, something else...).
