What Else Can They Cram In There?

Nokia is seeking to add another feature to your cellphone:

The lightning detector could attract all types of mobile phone users, including the elderly and outdoor enthusiasts, who seek useful safety devices. [emph. added]

Useful, eh? The odds are of being struck by lightning are extremely low, and from the patent application, I see no mention of the elderly. But for people who must perform certain jobs in extreme whether conditions, I can see how adding this feature to your NexTel handset can be necessary. I just don't like how the story seems to be trying to selling this idea to people who don't need it.
