Right, now April 1st has been and gone, we can get on with the real mobile news - thankfully! Apologies to regular readers for the lame April Fool's joke on April 1st. Everyone else was doing it, but that's no excuse, and after finding myself bored senseless by reading lame joke after lame joke, I realized that I'd committed the same sin on my own blog! So, no more April Fools from now on!

Anyway, on with the news. A newcomer to the mobile phone world, ClarityLife, has released a new mobile phone that offers, well, nothing at all! As you can see from the pic, you get four huge buttons, a monochrome screen, and a one touch emergency button on the back...and that's it.

The point of the phone is to make it as simple as possible to operate so that kids and the elderly can use it without being overwhelmed by features. Oh come on, who are they kidding...since when did anyone under the age of 12 have any problems with technology?! It's for older people, pure and simple.

Perhaps to reinforce this fact, ClarityLife have decided to make the screen a violent shade of orange. Allegedly, this is to make it much easier to read than a standard black and white display, and I guess it is...if you have cataracts!

Yeesh, if this is what I have to look forward to when I get old, I might as well give up now!
