Motorola Patents Shocking New Silent Alert System

Mobile Burn with the heads up on a development from Motorola that you can definetly call shocking.

Motorola has recently received a patent for a completely silent way of alerting users to incoming calls and messages. No, this isn’t the usual vibrating system - the Motorola patent involves alerting the owner using mild electric shock.

The system, not unlike the massage and weight loss systems currently available on the market today, uses a small pad containing electrodes that are wirelessly linked to a handset. When an event occurs on the handset, an electric potential is placed across the electrodes, stimulating the skin and underling muscles, thus alerting the wearer.

Better warn people with heart problems before you toss them your cell phone.
