The Ultimate Kids Keitai
Continuing my now two-post long thread of Ultimate Keitai aimed at particular demographics, I now present to you the ultimate Kids Keitai! The newly renamed Softbank Mobile has released the ‘Kodomobile’ which has been especially designed for children.
The phone features a GPS tracking system so that parents can check the location of their kids on a computer at any time, a panic alarm, and a warning light that will automatically send an email with the time and current location when activated. There’s also web access to things like Yahoo! Kids (remember, Softbank and Yahoo! are in cahoots), some games, 1GB of memory, a high resolution camera and a battery that can last for up to 20 days.
Good lord, I want one. I want a phone with 20 days of battery power and 1 gig of memory! Why can’t my phone have all that?!

I was surprised when I wrote a blog about how we are thinking of getting our elementary aged child a kodomobile and it turned into a heated discussion among parents. Some seeing it as an extravagant, unneccesary excess and others seeing it as a necessity of being raised by working parents and having lots of activities afterschool.
I think it is nice to have something that gives not only parents but the kids peace of mind in this new scary time in their lives.
