handphone to track your dog

in one of lone’s latest blog, he blog about exploding handphone. in the far eastern economic review (FEER) latest issue (16 oct.), under ‘travellers’ tales’ (my fav. column), it also talk about handphone.

first it mentioned about the japanese wiring up. . . their dogs! an except here:

The fact that pets can’t talk is not a problem. You keep in touch with them by using the phone’s transmission capabilities to track their movements. Japan’s telecoms network will tell you that Rex is wandering around the park, drinking from your toilet, watering the neighbour’s plants or whatever. Might Rex lose his cellphone? No: The maker of the doggy-phones, Secom Co. of Tokyo, supplies them in pouches tied securely around the pet’s neck. Next: Japanese consumers flock to buy cellphones for their pet rocks.

and have you heard that a south korean company is charging customers to beam to their phone a noise that irritates mosquitoes and thus keeps them away. wow. your handphone can become a mosquito repellant.

any enterprsing malaysian wanna start the dog tracking via handphone’s transmission business?
