My mother lost her ability to dial numbers before she lost her ability to carry on a conversation. This phone would have been great at that stage in her life.

Rather than insulting older people i think most people would appreciate his efforts to use technology to help aid this massively underserved market. I hope that he contacts senior phone manufacturers ( such as www.jitterbug.com/ and www.emporia.at) and lets them know more about his concept.

Considering how much I used to rearrange the magnets on my grandma's fridge when I was younger, picture doing the same thing on the fridge with a bunch of pics, and the reciever right next to this. Having a frequently-dialed list would be handy for this for those times those tags are not available. As for being offensive to the elderly, I would think its more or less offensive to those who just don't want to admit that they don't remember numbers, only faces. Honestly, I like this concept.
