Honey, I'm tracking the kids
Another child tracking cell phone device, but this one is sure to please the kids! Reuters reports that parents in South Korea will now be able to track their children by using a device in a new mobile phone that has been designed for kids. SK Telecom on Wednesday began selling colourful cellphones with antennas that look like human ears and a built in tracker using the global positioning satellite (GPS) network. See picture on Engadget The phone has four buttons to save phone numbers of key contacts, such as Mum and Dad. The GPS technology works even when the phone is turned off. To keep the price down, the phones do not have text messaging or Internet capabilities. Per a related article in the JoongAngDaily, satellite, this ‘i-Kids' service via satellite, points out the current location of the child and alerts the parent or guardian when the child has left an area designated by the parent. Monthly fees are 3,000 won ($2.50).
