Mosquito Repellent Mobile Phone

SK Telecom has come up with a downloadable application for their mobile phones that may find a loyal audience. They claim they've created a mobile phone-based mosquito repellent. Basically, it sounds like a ringtone that produces a sound undetectable to human ears, but which annoys mosquitoes. Of course, they want you to pay every time you use it. Still, it is a creative mobile phone app, whether or not it actually works.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone.
