Well I guess we’ll find out if Blackberry are the litigious types, what with Bandai naming their kiddie “smartphone” SmartBerry. No chance of getting them confused visually, though: Bandai has colored this little gadget all pink and blue in an effort to appeal to everybody (or nobody, depending on your point of view). So what’s it do? It allows kids to share “virtual business cards”, does e-mail, instant messaging and plays games, via both a keypad and touchscreen. There’s also a calendar and alarm clock. All for under $100. I have to wonder if this has an airplane mode, for when your 8 year old exec hits the friendly skies for that all-important field trip to early adulthood.

Finally, Bandai’s website says “Currently, adults are also a tool for smart mobile phones type of products are popular because of ‘Very smart,’ the fashion-conscious and fashion conscious of the girl’s body shape preference has been adopted.” which, um, I don’t know what that means.
