Here's an article from Iconoculture (and thanks to Gene for sending it my way) about a new mobile phone gadget that's all the craze in Japan. It's called a MoPod and they're quirky charms that can attach to your belt, keychain, bag—anything within three feet of your phone. When your phone rings or vibrates these things light up and start dancing. According to Iconoculture this falls under the Funster macrotrend, but I think if they created charm devices like this that weren't so kid-oriented I could see this attracting targets that aren't so laid-back.
Personally I think this is pretty sweet. If I were a Japanese school girl I'd totally want one! Of course I'd also spend a lot of time wearing my school uniform and staring at myself in the mirror, but that's beside the point...
