About: I like gadgets, loads! I like talking about them, writing about them, using them, watching other people use them though binoculars... Some would say it was an unhealthy fascination, but then I'd be all like, "Shh...," and go back to doing gadget-related things. Hit me up on Xbox Live or PSN, I'm EJStyleS. I promise to give you a good match as well as talk about things that aren't gadgets. A bit.See Authors Posts (565)

Is your child showing a little more drive and dynamism than the others? Imaginary business contacts instead of friends and planning power lunches instead of tea parties?

Then the SmartBerry is just the device for the young go-getter. Created by Bandai, famous for the cult fad of Tamagotchi and the cult failure of WonderSwan, the SmartBerry is a very impressive little device for girls on the go.

The touchscreen slider phone has a one colour LCD screen, and comes in white. The stylus is provided as an alternative input method, and the Smartberry does not quite make and receive phone calls, but has “Wai-Wai”.

This is a variant of Bluetooth, which allows over-the-air connectivity with other users to exchange personal data including blood type, photo attachments and ‘business’ cards. Instant messaging and multiplayer gaming are also available, making the SmartBerry some serious competition in the lucrative under-10 female demographic.

Due to be released later this week at a cost of approximately £50, Bandai are optimistic of their success on the condition that the summer weather isn’t too good and the target audience do not wander off and play with dollies instead.
