zomm-mobile-phone-leash-keychainHow many times have you left the house, a restaurant, or even your car without your cellphone? If you’re like us, you’ve left your precious mobile phone behind enough times to consider putting the darn thing on a leash. Thanks to ZOMM, we don’t have to put a physical leash on our cellphone. The keychain-sized ZOMM dongle uses a Bluetooth connection to keep your handset wirelessly connected to the keys in your pocket. If you stray too far from your cellphone, the ZOMM will vibrate, blink and make noise to alert you that you’ve forgotten your cellphone on the stove, again. The ZOMM doubles as a Bluetooth speakerphone too, so you can dazzle your friends by talking into your keychain. That’s all well and good, but what happens when you lose your cellphone and your keys?

The ZOMM is priced at $79, and should be officially unveiled at CES later this week. Check back for more live coverage from CES Las Vegas!
