Man Incorporates Smartphone Dock Into His Prosthetic Arm
*** Trevor Prideaux, a catering manager from Somerset, England, was born without a left forearm. He was fitted with his first prosthetic arm at the age of 3. When Prideaux wanted to text message or call his loved ones, he had to either place the phone on a flat surface or balance it on his prosthetic arm. He told The Telegraph, "From owning a mobile phone and with the invention of the iPhone, it became clear that this piece of technology was not ideally suited to be used with only one hand.” It was at this point that Prideaux decided to approach this problem head on and provide an elegant solution, embedding the phone into his prosthetic arm. ***

I'm a graphic designer, not really a computer guy. The iPhone battery thread made me think of it.
