The battery fuel is something I would really like, not sure about keys jingling. I find REAL keys and coins jingling annoying enough

it would be better if they develop a software that could trigger cellphone's vibrator..

each event, has a unique vibration pattern.. they could even convert sentence/word into Morse Code..

more social friendly, meeting friendly, office friendly, conversation friendly.. etc ..

bells or keys banging sound? ?:-/

I understand, too many 13 year old idiots here though. It's great that science attracts them but they need to learn how to appreciate innovations.

this thing doesnt suck. this stuff would be useful on a phone so it would be easier to use your phone without interupting. people would hear keys clinging but wouldn't think much. phone starts ringing, then it would be considered annoying.
