LG released a mobile phone for drinkers
South Korean company LG has released an unusual mobile phone - LP4100 tube does not allow to call and send SMS, if its owner is drunk.
To do this, the developers added a built-in breath analyzer device, which detects the degree of intoxication, according to ABC News.
To find out the truth about his condition, the user must blow into the hole on the machine. If the blood alcohol content is greater than 0, 8 ppm, the owner of the phone warns about the dangers of driving drunk and shows a video about how the car off the road and crashed into a road barrier. In addition, the mobile phone can be programmed to block certain numbers from the phone book (for example, the head, mother, ex-girlfriends) if the owner of a drinking tube went through.
New from LG has become a hit in South Korea - the company has managed to sell more than 200,000 "mobile phones for drinkers." Soon LP4100 model will be available to consumers in the United States. Will there be a unit in other markets, is still unknown.
