New cell phone to prevent drunk dialing

[soulxtc]

There just might be no other gadget that has transformed the party scene quite as much as the cell phone. Address books and text-messaging can beef up the attendance of a slow night within minutes. Camera and video features have proven to quite a few of us that no one is safe from having their embarrassing acts--from women dancing on tables to men being caught with cosmopolitans or Smirnoff Ices in hand--captured on film.

But the Korean cell phone manufacturer LG, according to ABC News, has gone a step further with the party gimmicks. LG's LP4100 brand, to be released in the U.S. later this year, not only takes pictures of your friends' bar tricks, but it can also ward off two of a wild Saturday night's most undesirable consequences -- drunk-dialing and DUIs.

The LP4100 has a built-in breathalyzer that, when blown into, gives a warning and displays a nifty little animation of a car swerving on a road and crashing into traffic cones. (It should be easy for the tipsy mind to understand.)

The phone can also be programmed to block selected numbers in the address book--bosses, moms, exes, pizzerias--if the breathalyzer records a BAC over 0.08.

Why don't they make a cell phone you can really use, like one that doubles as a power hitter.
