Smartphones have changed our lives, sure, but for those with only one arm, the touchscreen-centric devices can be a downright nuisance. Trevor Prideaux of Somerset, England has worked out of a solution, with help from Nokia and some folks in the medical community. A prosthetist built the 50-year-old catering manager a limb with a cradle for his Nokia C7, allowing Prideaux to operate the phone with a single hand. Prideaux told The Telegraph that he'd initially approached Apple for assistance with the project, eventually settling on Nokia after the Finnish handset maker agreed to help out.

Kudos to Nokia et al.

I imagine this concept will continue to be developed and incorporated into the "smart" prosthetic limbs of today and tomorrow. The engineering and technology in the prosthetic field is amazing and doing some great things for people (and animals).
