19 Jan 09 Fujitsu Releases Baby Proof Phone

Does your tyke like to play grown-up with your phone? A few confused call backs from your contact list and you might actually set a pin.  And why do kids love to throw things in the toilet?  The more expensive or likely to jam a toilet an object is the more likely it is to end up there.  Well Fujitsu to the rescue.

Ok so they aren’t actually marketing it as baby proof, but the combination of features on Fujitsu’s new phone the F-01A sure make it sound like that’s what they were going for.  The F-01A comes with a built in fingerprint scanner and is waterproof. So either this thing was made with toddler damage in mind, or Fujitsu execs make a lot of secret underwater calls.

Plenty of buttons, multi-colored lights, and funny noises.  Yup, your cell phone is a beeping buzzing flashing kid finger magnet.  And those fingers on your cell phone will either make random calls, drop it in the toilet, or at the very least make a mess of it.  The fingerprint scanner should block the button presses and the waterproof rating means you have up to 30 minutes to find out which toilet bowl, dog bowl, or fish bowl your phone is swimming in. And if you find the phone under the kitchen table covered in spaghetti sauce, a quick rinse and you’re good to go.
