We had no reason to believe that
this thing wasn't actually coming, but now Pantech has gone and erased any lingering doubt. The Sky IM-S410 / IM-S410K is being hailed as the first cellphone in the "wind-recognizing" category, which may actually be useful in places unlike Chicago. It checks in at 11 millimeters thin and sports a microphone that can detect when you're deliberately pushing air through it; once you blow, the phone can then change images on the screen, as if to move through a gallery of photos or play games. Outside of that,
Pantech also threw in a DMB TV tuner and an e-dictionary, and you'll even get to pick between white, black and red hues. Good luck not getting the stink-eye from fellow subway mates when huffing and puffing on your handset while within close proximity to other Earthlings, though.

she blows... literally
He was probably all in a hurry to post that little gem too.
Yup and I never know that giving a blow to netbook can be so immersing.
My kid's Nintendo DS Lite has a game or two that you "blow at" to do things.
(yes, it has games that you whistle at, too, but we're talking pure wind here, not (human-audible) sound)
I can see why you'd compare them what with the iPhone being so remarkably similar to this phone.
I thought that was a netbook in her hand.
[obligatory sexist comment on asian model] (what, it's too early to come up with real humor).
like the white color
Either the phone is huge, or she has really small hands (maybe she's a fairy).
Looks like she and the phone are having a blowing contest, and the phone is winning.
Chicago is not called "the windy city" because of high winds. It is called that because of a political climate at the turn of the century where many politicians reported to be telling a lie or two - also known as a "windy".
Useful as shake shuffle on a sony ericsson
So Korean phones have built-in hairdryer too?
In the original picture she was cupping a nut-sack, but they photoshoped it out. Now she got the virtual penis game on the phone, where you have to blow to make it happy, and on the Pro phone where it has the touch screen you have to both blow it and stroke it.
Wait... why?
Good point. Maybe if it had an inbuilt windmill or something ...
