I've Always Needed a [Perfume Bottle] USB [Card Reader]!

Mark Wilson — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 13:20:00 EDT

Somewhere in China, industry generals gather around a giant, free association computer. It mixes everyday objects (like "comb") with somewhat useful USB technology (like "thumbprint scanner"). The prophecies become real products, just like this "Perfume Bottle USB Card Reader."

While it may look like a somewhat ugly and useless perfume bottle, popping off the lid to reveals a USB plug. On the bottle's underside, you'll find ports for SDHC, micro SDHC, microSD/T-flash, Sony M2, Memory Stick and MS Duo. Then, when you're done pulling information off your cards, the perfume bottle can sit back on your desk. That is, until you hear about next month's Earwax Vacuum USB Night Light*.

*Note: The Earwax Vacuum USB Night Light could be and probably is a real product. Anyone looking to steal the idea should proceed with caution.

Looks like Asus is sniffing out the next big thing now that it's found heaps of success with its EeePC concept, and has decided that what the world really needs is a notebook that can function both as a mid-range computer and an Air Wick. The Asus F6 boasts a 13.3 inch screen, an integrated webcam, an Intel Core2 Duo processor, up to 4GB of DRAM support, up to 320GB of HD space and comes in four scents – Floral Blossom, Musky Black, Morning Dew and Aqua Ocean. Asus doesn't say how long the fragrance is supposed to last, or whether you can reapply it. But for a couple of days at least, when the patrons of your local coffee shop wrinkle up their noses and ask “What's that smell?” you can proudly say “Me.” [Asus via Far East Gizmos]

A perfume called Conquest which comes in a credit card made of steel, capable of storing 20 milliliters of musk-loaded liquid? Atomize it away, Mr. Spitzer, because this seems like the perfect addition to the wallets of punters, NY state ex-governors or anyone with perfume-to-go needs. Whoever you are. [Tuvie]

Samsung Smell-o-phone

Smell-o-vision was something previously reserved for cartoons and other gags. Well, Samsung has done the unthinkable and is actually developing a smell-o-phone. This phone will release "smell tones" upon incoming calls. According to the patent documentation the type and amount of perfume can be controlled. Thanks, Samsung. Now cell phones can annoy two of our senses instead of just one.
