[quote]Designer Dominic Wilcox has come up with a Pinocchio-style “finger-nose stylus” that lets you navigate your touchscreen phone hands-free.
He came up with the design after he found that he wanted to use his touchphone in the bath. A wet hand is not a good touchscreen navigation device, so he found himself using his nose to scroll, but found it hard to see precisely where his nose was touching the screen.
The solution was to create a nose extension “finger” that would allow for navigation while holding the phone firmly in his one dry hand (he did not want to risk scrolling and holding with the same hand for fear of dropping the phone).
The stylus comprises a capacitive end point attached to a plaster nose measuring around five inches in length and affixed to the face with elastic. The elongated nose allows the user to navigate around the screen with accuracy.
In Wilcox’s inaugural nose-tweet from the bath he wanted to type “Hello I am tweeting with my nose”, but due to the phone’s auto-correct it came out as “hello I am meeting with my nose”. Apparently this caused him to lose twoTwitter followers.
Wilcox has a track record for creating extraordinary items such as luxury skimming stones that are covered in 24ct gold leaf and contained within a leather pouch. He has also created stickers that can be placed on bikes or cars to make them look as though they are rusty and old as an anti-theft device. Another notable product is “War Bowl“, a bowl made out of melted plastic toy soldiers.

Damn, I can't hold my phone and scroll with my thumb...
I'll just strap this sausage to my face.

Doesn't want to drop it.

To which my response is: bathe to relax dickhead, and don't bring it in with you if you don't want to drop it.

Scared of being called an anti-Semite?
Why not just use the thumb of the hand holding the phone?
[QUOTE=demoguy08;29638803]Why not just use the thumb of the hand holding the phone?[/QUOTE]It's for people who've lost both thumbs and need to have a wank at the same time.
