Can a person's hands be too big for a cell phone?

If you're a sumo wrestler, maybe so.

The Japan Sumo Association reportedly has purchased 60 iPads for some sumo wrestlers whose fingers are too beefy to use mobile phones.

According to a report from Jiji News, a Japanese news service, the sumo association hopes the iPad will improve its communication with wrestlers who don't use computers or who struggle with tiny gadgets.

"We will hand out the newest iPads to all the sumo stables to swiftly communicate what we need to," Hiroyoshi Murayama, an official with the sumo association, told the Reuters news agency.

The iPad, a touch-screen "slate" computer from Apple Inc., features a 9.7-inch screen, considerably larger than those of most phones. Smartphone screens tend to range from about 3 to 5 inches, measured diagonally.

Very interesting. However, it's certainly not healthy to be eating twinkies every day. Rolling&Laughing
