A Cell Phone for Baby Boomers
Interesting phone design – I think I’d like these features to appear if I’m driving:
“Instead of icons or menus, the phone presents features as a series of simple questions, which the user answers with the bold YES and NO buttons on the handset: Do you want to check your voicemail? If not, press NO and the phone will ask if you want to look at your phone list instead.”
It’s got a interface that can reduce features, and a highly integrated operator service that uses hardware buttons to interface with it – interesting to see an operator tied in with the representation on the device…like the iPhone’s ‘visual voicemail‘.
