China Trend: Mobile phone condoms
A Beijing restaurant trend that protects the sloppy eater’s phone. The waiters at this restaurant delicately placed the diner’s phones in the bags.
Marketers take note: Great advertising opportunity since people tend to look down at BlackBerrys so often. I have long been fascinated by the cultural differences in use of mobile phones, something I wrote about here for the IHT. Thanks for the great dinner, Andrew!

I love the creativity in China.
What a great idea?
So know you can show off your cutting-edge mobile phone while enjoying the chinese way of diner.
Everybody who experience a normal business diner knows that you might need such a protection for your phone.
This has actually been around for about 4 years now. Got my phone “condomed” at Bi Feng Tang in Shanghai in 2004.
What a great idea. This would save me from getting barbecue sauce all over my iPhone!
