Cool phone, but they should have had some marketing folks talking to the carriers while they were developing it.  Engineers and design people really don't have a clue what happens on the other side.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Enfora and LeapFrog put out TicTalk cellphone for kids]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</guid><description><![CDATA[# 2, this is for a child. Can you imagine giving a kid--say 6 to 10 years old-- a phone with numbers on it. Imagine how quick [s]he would go through those 100 minutes from all of the calls [s]he made just from pushing the buttons. It's more likely a phone for recieving calls.<br><br>But you may be right, it probably won't get picked up. One day, though, something like it will. We're just not ready for this kind of technology yet.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[greg]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Enfora and LeapFrog put out TicTalk cellphone for kids]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why would a child that doesn't even know how to use a phone keypad need a phone in the first place?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stephen Searer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Enfora and LeapFrog put out TicTalk cellphone for kids]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm not saying that kids would need a keypad.  As a concept, this is OK, although I would suspsect that even 6-10 year olds these days would be more interested in an iPod cell phone than a crippled phone that looks like Fisher Price.  I'm just saying that carriers are not intereted in these types of phones.  At least a few companies have poured money into development of keypad-less kiddy  cell phones, only to have them rejected from carriers for that reason.  Maybe the carriers would rather have the parents pay $35 a month for full service than the discounted service this phone would require.  Maybe they have done their research and have seen that there is no market for this kind of phone.  I'm not sure.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Paul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Enfora and LeapFrog put out TicTalk cellphone for kids]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2005/08/04/enfora-and-leapfrog-put-out-tictalk-cellphone-for-kids/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do you need a computer for this phone?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jacqueline Stone]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 19th 2005 1:24AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
