Wind Up Mobiles and Wallpaper

Posted by on 02.23.05 | Comment?

Not that we ever doubted that we’re obsessed with mobiles, as a culture. But if you had missed it…

Firstly, from Japan, we have Keitai Vyuun (via Gizmondo) which means, roughly, “mobile zoom”. What you get is a pair of stick-on wheels for your mobile, which you can wind up and race….presumably against other mobile phones.

Something so utterly pointless is going to be mega-huge this Summer.

And then we have a rather memorable quote from Jay Cordenberg (via Iconoculture):

“Even a night out with the girls seems to be an occasion to change their [mobile] wallpaper - to match their shoes or handbags.”

OK, admittedly, Jay is the publicist for Crazy Fun Babe, a Canadian wallpaper seller. But that doesn’t mean to say it’s not what happens.
