I saw this on The Gadgeteer site, and thought it was pretty amusing (and interesting). Some of the most fascinating, and downright odd, products come out of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. This one is no exception - it detects lies based on the vocal tone of the speaker. When you think about it, integrating this into a Pocket PC wouldn't be that hard...
"Handy Truster is a handheld, portable LIE DETECTOR. More accurately it is a voice stress analyzer. When people lie the blood pressure changes in their vocal cords. This change is not audible to us but the Handy Truster is designed to pick up on these subtleties. The Handy Truster is built upon Israeli chip technology and boasts an 84 percent accuracy rate."
