Papipo, the kid's phone

Japan is the breeding ground for telephony, and even for kids, new ways of keeping in touch are developed. Ok, it turns them into mobile phone addicts from a young age, and in extreme cases, some Japanese youngsters prostitute themselves to keep up with the latest trends, and parents let their kids roam the streets at night thinking they are safe because they have a mobile phone. Kind of a dark picture of Japan, but sadly enough it's true...
Bandai and Willcom present this Papipo, a PHS phone that uses the WSIM from Willcom. It has a 128x128 screen, a 0.3MP camera, it measures 52x29.9x101mm and weighs 100g. It will come with an anti-spam filter and a system that blocks certain people from communicating with your child.

Similar phone's been out in the US for a bit, I think its named Firefly or something. Its rediculously expensive (300$) and it has 3 buttons only, plus no where nearly as cool as those.
