Kosher Phone Merges Technology and Faith

Hey, what's so new about this? God's had a fax line for quite some time ... and an email address.

On a more serious note, I found it very interesting indeed that inquiries are already coming in from Muslim fundamentalists with essentially the same goals (blocking porn, gambling, etc.) as the Orthodox rabbis.

AP - It sounds like the setup for a punch line: What do you get when you cross an ultra-Orthodox rabbi with a mobile phone? But the "kosher phone" is real and its developers are serious about looking beyond the religious enclaves of Israel. Some Arab companies even have inquired about the phone's main feature: keeping out sex lines and other worldly temptations.
