Instant Message Barbie
Posted by Stowe Boyd
Instant messaging is more that ubiquitous: even dolls are using it!
[from
Mobile Technology Weblog]
Mattel in India have launched a Barbie doll, impeccably dressed as always, but also with her own must-have accessory - a mobile phone. But this is no toy - the mobile works. Barbie's owners can Instant Message Barbie and friends who have a Barbie too. Plus the look of the phone can be changed to match her clothes. It's priced at R 1199 (USD 26), according to The Statesman.
Whatever next - a phone for dogs? Ahh, we had that last week.
I couldn't find anything at the Mattel Barbie sites, but did find it at
Sears:
Get hip with technology, and instant message with Barbie and her friends. The included instant messaging "phone" has a real working text messaging feature. Girls can send real messages to Barbie doll and receive a message back. Send messages to friends who have an Instant Message Girl Barbie doll, too. Each doll also comes with an extra face plate, trendy fashions and a cool messenger bag. Measures approximately 12" tall. Requires 3 button cell batteries (not included). Includes 3-"AA" batteries and 3 button cell batteries
