Nokia smartphones as lie detectors

A new application from Agile Mobile for smartphones such as the Nokia 7650, 3650 and 6600, turns these into portable lie detectors. The company behind it says it's for entertaiment purposes only, according to Infosync World.

"Telling a lie that a person does not dare get caught at is stressful, and this form of stress can be detected in one's voice, explains the company's web site. Being able to measure the amount of stress certain questions or topics of discussion cause to a person is an effective method of indicating deceit."
