London -- U.K.-based ISP Telewest Broadband announced on Thursday that it is developing a hi-tech scent device that would plug in to PCs and release odors on command. The "scent dome" device, which would retail at about 250 pounds ($472), would come with a replaceable cartridge containing about 20 basic smells that could be combined to produce up to 60 different aromas, the company said. "We are always looking at ways to enhance the broadband Internet experience of the future," said Telewest Broadband Internet Services Director Chad Raube. "And this time we are sure consumers will come up smelling of roses." A similar device was marketed several years ago by the now-defunct U.S. firm DigiScent.
