Worried that you're not getting enough exercise or that you've eaten way too much garlic? A Japanese firm has come up with a phone that can help.

Japan's largest cell phone carrier NTT DoCoMo unveiled this week a "Fitness Phone," designed to help the user stay healthy -- and avoid bad breath.

The handheld phone, equipped with various devices that can measure your pulse or the amount of steps you've taken in a day, dispenses heath advice after you've punched in statistics such as gender, age and weight.

I want this phone

Ditto. Pretty nifty idea.

Between this and WiiFit there's no excuse for Japanese girls NOT to have their thighs are well toned as Maki's.

Add GPS, mapping, pedometer to Googlephone too. I can track my daily walking.  Change pedometer into accelerometer, we will have another Wiimote compatible device.

That's really cool, but.. eh...
expensive sounding.

I do not think you want to throw your phone like a lot of people seem to do with the WiiRemote

(Nintendo is now even adding a rubber housing to it)
