Cell Phone Sommeliers on the Way?
Japan is reportedly toying with the idea of educating and licensing "sommeliers" to help potential buyers wade through the vast sea of options available for a new cellphone purchase. "Japan's communication ministry is looking to the private sector to manage the potential nightmare exam and certification process, with children's online safety highlighted as an important part of the plan. Mobile sommelier sounds like a pretty sweet title, we can totally feel how an HTC TyTN II might be paired with an earthy unlimited plan followed by the soft nutty finish of a 200-minute a month daytime calling package."
Here I am, thinking that someone in Japan had come up with a cellphone that could recommend wine pairings.
Though the original stock comes from Scandinavia the terroir of this particular batch came from Shanghai. You can smell the rich, earthy aroma of circuits left on the assembly line until they were perfectly ripe. Taste high-impact plastic exterior, make sure you taste it on the back of your tongue. As you can tell it's quite a balanced flavor. Quite correct sir, vintage 2002. It takes time to bring a phone to that level of complexity.

I don't remember a cell phone that actually produced a dial tone
Yes, that was my point. Never had a cell phone, never care to have one.
Give me Classic Slashdot or give me death!
Now that you have mentioned a consumer demand for it, it will be new cell phone feature soon!
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
I thought the whole point of slashdot was to heckle the people who DID read the article!
