How young is too young for a cell phone? That’s a trick question, as apparently there is no such thing as too young.
Mike Elgan reports that a cell phone for toddlers introduced at CeBit, the i-Care Baby Bear (left), is now shipping courtesy of a Chinese manufacturer.
CellularNews.com reports: “The bear-shape designed phone features four speed dial keypad that sends pre-programmed messages and SOS side keypads for emergency cases” and is aimed at the 3- to 10-year-old set. They better mean 10-year-old girls, as I can’t imagine any 10-year-old boy carrying around a brightly-colored bear phone. However, it would be funny to ask any child: “Are you gonna answer that bear or not?”
How long until there’s an ultrasound picture of a happy fetus sporting a cell phone headset?
