A flip phone that has a scale built in. Open the scale program, drop whatever item needs weighed on the keypad and thats that.

       I think this is possible on a touchscreen because some have load cells at the corners to detect where you pressed, but keys are usually bubble switches. Obvious neither can take much weight so would have limited use. I think someone even did this for the Apple Newton.

       Just...don't drop too much.

       //possible on a touchscreen// Photocopiers should have this feature built in and activated just before office parties. Accompanying sign:   

       "No more than 1 person to attempt to photocopy their arse at a time. This unit has a weight sensitive alarm."

       How about connecting a hanging fish scale type cable from the side of the phone? That would be very cool.
