Imaginarium's Cam1 brings video calling to kids
Imaginarium's telephony devices for children haven't typically looked like phones -- though we reckon that's by design -- and the trend continues with its latest, the Cam1. The rather beefy looking Cam1 is focused on video calling, giving parents an opportunity to get some visual confirmation that their children are safe and sound (though we're wondering what the toddler in the press shot here is doing far enough away from her parents to require a video call). Other features include 20MB of onboard memory, microSD expansion, and big, colorful buttons that we kinda want to press.
Imaginarium's Cam1 camera for tykes
It turns out Spain's Imaginarium can do an equally bangin' job applying bulbous design principles to kiddie cameras as it can to kiddie phones, showing the "Cam1" ahead of a possible 3GSM debut next week in Barcelona. "Why 3GSM, haven of all things cellular," you ask? Well, seems this 2 megapixel number can use triangulation of GSM towers to location-stamp images. Otherwise, you get a 1.8 inch color display, MP3 player functionality, and some cutesy buttons that'll likely appeal to the younger crowd. Look for it to be sold through Movistar (it does have a GSM radio, after all) starting this summer for less than €100 ($130).[Thanks, Javier]
