Softbank introduces the nagging robotic mobile handset in Japan (where else?)

From one annoying gadget to another. If the USB Parrot wasn’t bad enough, maybe a nagging mobile phone will tip you over the edge?

Not only that, the latest handsets from Softbank Mobile in Japan even have arms and legs. Why? Who knows – they don’t actually work. But the nagging does. The phone has various faces and artificial intelligence, picking up if you on your calling habits. So, if you’re communicating with a certain person a little too much, the face will say something like: “You’re calling her often these days, aren’t you?”

If you want to develop a closer relationship with your mobile, you can pick one up in April in Japan. No news of it elsewhere. And I’m guessing that’s the way it will stay.
