A Handset For Your Cell phone?



When the cellular phone first came out, I was very impressed. I was in high school then. It's quite slow here in the third world. But just when I thought technology was moving us so far ahead that we are able to combine a whole lot of things into this tiny device (which as by the way getting smaller and smaller as the years passed).

We managed to fit inside the cell phone - a camera, an MP3 player, different kinds of games and videos, not to mention internet connection (blackberry). Enabling business people (or anyone in fact) to have the world at their finger tips. The cell phone is more than just a medium of communication, it is an organizer, a camera, MP3 or even MP4 player that can fit in your pocket.

But then her comes Yubz with a mobile handset that brings us back to the age of bulk. It's ironic how we arrived at something so retro. But at $44.95, there's nothing cheap about it.
