Submitted by sokari on 13 February, 2008 - 17:46.
Ken Banks, founder of Frontline SMS and Kiwanja.net is attending the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Ken is the kind of guy that always manages to find or build something special around mobile phone technology wherever he goes. On this occasion he discovers a mobile phone without a screen. Whats the big deal?
Spice Mobile have launched what they are calling "The People's Phone" in India, and plan to roll it out in Europe by the summer. And it has no screen. At $20 it's billed as a device which promotes the power of the spoken word and is designed for illiterate or visually impaired users. It boasts voice
response technology, long battery life, a braille language keypad and a universal charger.
