Use Your Phone as a Golf Club

Vodafone in Japan have launched the wittily, thoughtfully named V603SH (maybe it means something witty in Japanese anyway). It’s a handset that responds to movements made by the user.

What this means is that, for instance, you can hold your phone like a putter in golf, play a stroke and then look at the screen to see how your shot went.

It could also be used as a gun simulator in a shoot-em-up. Although in certain countries, this could just get you shot by a policemen thinking it was real. But it would be a deliciously ironic way to go, I guess.

I wonder how long it’ll before someone launches an adult product around this idea?

    Thanks for the comment - I saw that after I wrote the post.

    But it's still not very imaginative, is it?

  • This Engadget entry may help explain the naming scheme of the phones somewhat:
    http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000307029741/
    Basically, 'VodafoneÌs announced two new handsets, the V603T (Toshiba) and the V603SH (SharpÛget the naming scheme?)'
