German companies developing scented text messages

Germany’s ConVisual partnered with the Institute of Sensory Analysis and Marketing to develop scent-delivery chips for cell phones.

They just received a patent on the tech, and the goal now is to start building the chips into phone within the next two years. The chip is initially supposed to have 100 different smells on it, and ConVisual says bad smells are a possibility as users will be able to reject certain messages.

Smelly phones? - I am not sure if I would like that.
