Heart-shaped gaming phone concept for kids

What we have here is a heart-shaped mobile phone that is obviously designed for kids. The so called Okids phone can shape-shift from a mobile phone to a heart-shaped game console at a flick of the wrist. Designer Sung-Kyu Nam sees it as a perfect device for five- to six-year-olds who can enjoy playing games while also being able to quickly reach their parents in case they need to. It’s a concept device at this stage, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see some Chinese company releasing the real thing at some point in the future.

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
