Nokia patents the metal detector cell phone

Now that we have phones combining a camera, a calendar, web browsing, television and much more in a small device, what else could we possibly add to the lot? A metal detector, of course!

Nokia has patented a metal detector cell phone. The primary purpose of this cell phone is to help people with bad hearing position the phone on their ear, by detecting their hearing aid and emitting a high pitched noise as the phone gets closer to it. However, the metal detector can also be used to detect metallic objects at short distances.

Imagine what you could do with a metal detector in your pocket! The possibilities are endless…
