Your iPhone Will Soon Detect Bad Breath
Julie188 writes "A tiny San Francisco startup, Adamant Technologies, is trying to give your iPhone a sense of smell and taste.. The company has created a computer chip that works with a bunch of tiny sensors to digitize these senses. The first app planned is a consumer device that plugs into an iPhone and detects bad breath."
I don't have an iPhone and never will.
and farted on, will it report it as a fart, or just bad breath?
smell fishy, no need to test.
are handing out gum
A candidate came in for a job interview with breath that could have been used in a torpedo warhead.
...for your bad taste in New Hampshire is the question.
if you fart on it?
I haven't got an iPhone you insensitive clod!
"...limit and your location is within 5 feet of your vehicle, this will be reported"
Isn't it enough cell phones are tracking everyone, the data in them and in the cloud is easily accessible?
Hasn't anyone learned about evil governments like what occurred John McAfee in Belize?
Quit supporting/purchasing this advancement of technology because governments will abuse it to no end, they are not about right and wrong, they are about control and money grabbing.
Imagine a world where your required to get a cell phone to buy and sell, a little pocket policeman to make sure your not doing anything wrong, but in actuality it's monitoring your business, learning about your clients and thus makes it rather easy to steal your business away, like our government did to the home mortgage business.
"Who Farted?"
It's probably a scam, but iPhone users are hardly full of shit. iPhone users tend to have a higher income, which means they can afford to take care of themselves.
The breath I'm worried about is from discount or prepaid phones.
I like how if this comment were about linux you'd be modded down to hell by now. Bravo sir.
Apple fanboyz don't have bad breath...they're too cool for that.
My brain is overly lubricated
Now if it detected smelly dildos, you guys would be set.
portable breathalyzer App upcoming
Get everyone to install it on the premise that "it'll help you detect if you have bad breath". Make it sensitive enough that it can also detect traces of explosives, chemicals used to produce meth and other drugs, gunpowder, and so on. When it does, call home with the geolocation of the individual and full report of chemicals detected. Maybe force it to take a few snapshots and some audio recording of the user and their surroundings, without alerting them with any type of notifications. You don't need to make citizens spy on each other, because they'll gladly spy on themselves! :D

1. Place iPhone in front of face
2. Exhale out of mouth towards phone, then quickly inhale through nose
3. If stinky, then you have bad breath.
You all owe me $1.99 for reading that.
*Does not work with Android phones unless you are a dirty pirate, as they have not paid Apple for the patent. Windows phones will be able to do it next year. Symbian phones have done this since they were made of 2 cans and a piece of string. Blackberry phones have a special breath deflector on the front, but no one cares. Linux phone instructions are available for download as a 3 GB compressed text file.
Iphone DUI tester for novelty use only not certified for cops / court use.
Iphone DUI is not to be used as guide to see if you are under the limit and cops / court ones are more accurate
Using an iPhone? At least I can already detect bad taste...
Move Sig. For great justice.
For $18, I wouldn't make any bets on the reliability of this one,... It's probably much safer to just pay for a cab ride home ... And definitely cheaper than a DUI attorney,... ;-)

It will be used for drinking games.
"His name was James Damore."
Pro-tip: Take care of your mouth. Brush your teeth and tongue at least twice a day. In particular get that white/yellow stuff off your tongue, including on the back of it. You may gag a bit at first, but you'll get used to it. Also, floss. 90% of issues fixed. Now garlic and other smells you are on your own.
Is there some reason why the nose is discounted for detecting bad breath? Is everyone now being born without them?

Well kind of
And a $2000 two-year contract for limited data, texts and phone minutes?
That's right, you are talking shit on a shit iPhone.
Well they will plan to make the Brethalyzer app but instead they retire as billionaires from the $3 "rate my fart, bro" app and lose interest.
Some drink at the fountain of knowledge. Others just gargle.
Article says a $100 add-on, and their fancy sensors-on-a-chip are meant to be used with phones, PC's, and medical devices.
Then why the fuck the headline says 'iphone'?
Because a sensor-on-a-chip is not a commercial product. A gizmo that plugs into a phone is. Such a gizmo targeting an iPhone may simply be the first such product. Numerous sources indicate that Android users are less prone to spend money than iPhone users so it makes sense to target iPhone first, or maybe even only. I lean towards iPhone first not iPhone only. By the time you have an iPhone product that R&D is a sunk cost and the Android version may be justified on the incremental cost to get such a version.
Wonderful! Now all you farters can be put on the EPA's Superfund list.
Don't drink and drive. You might live longer too.
"he who smelt it dealt it".
Finally a phone I would love to piss on.
Forget bad breath, have the thing detect alcohol on your breath so you know whether or not you're safe to drive and the thing would be a gold mine.
I mean, yes, when you're sloshed obviously you don't drive. But how many times have you been out for dinner and had a drink or two, know you're not tipsy, but still worry what you'd blow if you got pulled over. That's what I mean...
Just wait until someone releases an app that detects douchebags and sounds an alarm. Every iPhone will be ringing like crazy.
when it can find an honest politician. Is that an oxymoron?
The mind conceives, the body achieves, the spirit manifests.
So how many Tic Tac packs will this thing cost?
Does the company have any rational why I would carry this device and presumably breath mints--instead of just breath mints?
Wouldn't a sane person simply pop in a Tic Tac if they wondered about bad breath versus taking the time to connect a device and run an app?
I personally have had this idea for about 10-15 years.. But i gave up the idea when Siemens created a small sensor for detecting "bad breath".. And said that one of the reasons was to implement it in a mobile phone so that it should be easy to carry around.. Think it was about 5-10 years ago.. See http://phys.org/news1194.html for one article about this.. Also mentioning "breath" as something interesting to analyze.. It will however have a great sale potential.. Salesmen really would like to know of their breath is ok before visiting a customer.. A young guy would love to know that he has a nice breath before kissing a girl for the first time..;-) Same for the girl of course..
...is about to get really interesting!
The G
I wonder if it could detect explosives / drugs with a little tweaking and feed millions of results back to the server?
Siri: You need to take a shower! It smells like balls in here! Siri: Oh my god! Cover my smell receptor! Why do you have to fart when I'm in your back pocket!
You useless wankers hold your hand in front of your mouth ffs.
"If any question why we died, Tell them because our fathers lied."
The idea for these chemical sensors is to a.) drug test you b.) find out if you're cooking meth or explosives or generally performing "science experiments" at home c.) find out about your health and habits in general. Yes this bitch will also know how many times you bbq in the summer. You sure you want your phone to smell the booze on your breath or the fact that you've been smoking xyz or those pills you dropped (metabolites in your breath)?
It's not at all "Genius", this is something that's been talked about for a few years now.
So now your phone has
1. GPS
2. Magnetic sensors
3. Acceleration sensors
4. Cameras
5. Mikes
6. Chemical sensors
What I wonder will we not know about you??
I'm suspecting that somewhere down the line, this will be used as a breathalyzer to measure alcohol content and thus rid the world of the dreaded drunk dial.
Yes, all of the hood rats with iphones sure are taking care of themselves. Go cut your balls off AppleFag.
Next to the fact, that developing for iOS is considerably cheaper in the end; which makes it a lot easier, to test a new "mobile" product.
--- I am known for the ones who want to find me on the net. Is that a privacy risk or a privilege? One might wonder..
Measuring bad breath is a toy application. Some of the other applications sound more interesting and valuable to society.
Measuring (and warning users about) dangerous sound levels would be more useful, and easier to do.
Put an accurate and precise sound level meter on the IPhone, with history tracking and a mechanism to warn users when they are exposed to overly loud noise for too long.
Many nightclubs, restaurants, and bands in the USA play music way beyond the levels set by the USA federal government for unprotected workplace noise exposure, as indicated by my portable sound level meter. Making every IPhone capable of informing users of this situation with a reliable measurement (not trivial to do, it isn't just a matter of measuring the microphone input: there are good reasons professional sound level meters are as expensive as they are) would have real value to help increase public awareness about one of the generally unrecognized dangers of modern industrial society (one that, unlike bad breath, leads to permanent and irreversible damage).
Tying the measurement into the GPS system with some sort of secure storage might allow for reporting violators to law enforcement with some sort of difficult-to-forge electronic evidence that could then be used for prosecution.
Once we had this, detecting and reporting on dangerous gases would be a next logical step, but it's not the first thing we should be focusing on.

3% hydrogen peroxide/water combo works.
I have had bad breath, lost my job due to it. Tried to find a new job but it's very hard once you stink up the office. I had tonsil stones and awful bad breath. My friend told me to check Oraltech Labs as it got rid of his bad breath and his post nasal drip. I've been following Oraltech Labs bad breath cure program for about 2 weeks now and I feel much better, also people are not avoiding me anymore so it seems to have cured my bad breath as well:-)
