LG: mobile breathalyser is all ours

Recent press coverage of a mobile phone with built-in breathalyser has been attributing the gizmo to Samsung --- which led to the real manufacturer, LG, putting out an anguished statement yesterday. "LG Mobile would like to confirm that the LP4100 is an LG handset contrary to features in The Sunday Times (09.07.06) and The Sun (10.07.06) which suggest the handset is manufactured by Samsung," went the missive. News that the device would stop you making drunken phone calls to inappropriate people were also off the mark - and I can't work out whether that's bad news for all you angry people with Technology Blog's number on speed dial, or for us.
