The Future of Text Messaging… Involves Dead Animals

The Future of Text Messaging… Involves Dead Animals

Don’t know about you, but text messaging is not that easy nor that much fun; dealing with the numbers pad to spell out sentences wastes both time and energy. I was hoping for the iPhone to provide a solution, but it hasn’t, and even if I went with a BlackBerry or something similar, I think I might have a problem; my hands are just to shaky and clumsy for typing on a small device. That’s why the Text-O-Possum seems to be right up my alley!

How it works (I think) is like this: the dead animal projects a virtual keyboard via Bluetooth, which one uses to type with. The text is then sent to a phone (or PDA or even a PC), which then sends along what is written from that device. No need to use the device’s small and often uncomfortable buttons ever again! Instead, use road kill.
