Refrigerated MMS

Home appliance company, Electrolux says that it is currently developing an appliance that allows consumers to monitor refrigerator contents with digital images.

Able to take pictures inside a fridge through a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) capable device, the Food Manager System will provide mobile phone users with an instant inventory of what food they have through a digital snapshot taken of the interior.  The appliance currently only exists as a concept model but is expected to be used commercially in the future, according to Cellular News.
