Sony Ericsson W980 plays hide the mobile phone
February 13th, 2008
In a sign that mobile phones are becoming secondary to the features they support, Sony Ericsson have unveiled the new Sony Ericsson W980 Walkman phone at MWC 2008 that at first glance looks nothing like a mobile phone.
The W980 looks in every respect like a Walkman, and nothing at all like a phone. It’s only when you open it up that you realise it’s a clamshell in disguise.
What this means is that the phone as a device has become so ubiquitous, it’s no longer necessary for a phone to look like a phone. You can already see this trend with camera phones, which look more and more like cameras, and less like phones, with every new release.
