Are We Really Evolving? - Teddy Bear Phones

According to the image above you'd probably think that crazy ole Japan and their crazy ole women are doing something all 'karayzay' again on the technology front.  Barring this being limited to women [guys like bears too...err...pause] the cuddle and cute concept phone known only as 'Kuma Phone' made by Willcom stole the show of the Good Design Expo this weekend. Like most phones it has: a vibrate feature, custom sounds for incoming calls, and all calls can be answered or ended by merely pressing the tail. [Take that cuteoverload.com!]

More about this plushy item after the jump...

Michael Keferl Adds:

In a pamphlet, the Kuma Phone was priced at about $500, which seems a bit steep, so we’ll see what happens if/when this little bear makes it to market.
