Man Has Nokia Phone Embedded In False Limb

judgecorp writes "A British man born with one arm has a Nokia phone dock embedded in his prosthetic limb. Apparently, Apple refused to have an iPhone suitably customized for the job. From the article: 'Mr Prideaux, of Wedmore, Somerset, said: "I think this is the first time this has ever been done in the world - and it is brilliant. I can now take calls and make texts just by using my one hand, while the phone sits inside my arm. The phone slots smoothly and securely within my limb and is easily removable, when required. I think this would help a lot of people with prosthetic arms - especially those who were not born with the disability. People who have had motorbike crashes and soldiers who have lost limbs - they could all benefit from this."'"

Of course...

We all know Apple's position on people who hold it wrong...

The fatasses who lost limbs to "diabesity" are less gratifying to picture.

If it was an iPhone 4S, it would have given new meaning to the phrase "Talk to the hand".

And Apple products cost an arm and a leg, so this poor guy would be running out of limbs

And let's face it, we've all wanted to insert the iPhone into a loud Siri user, even when they weren't amputees.

...personal experience

Are you a previously fat, now skinny emphysematous chain-smoker diabetic who congenitally lacked an upper limb and just lost the other one traumatically? I feel for you, man.
