BARCELONA: “Hello … this is grandma calling!” An Austrian firm has designed simple mobile phones for the elderly to stay connected. It could be the answer to grandma’s prayers: a mobile phone designed specifically for the over-65s that aims to take the fear out of technology and get the elderly connected. A small Austrian company shrugged off the buzz of innovation and youth-oriented marketing at the 3GSM mobile phone trade show last week and showcased a simple handset for the growing “grey market”. “Our market research showed that the elderly have problems using complicated phones,” said Reinhard Handlgruber, export manager for Emporia Telecom, based in Linz. What they want is a big screen, a big key pad and an easy to use menu.” Emporia carried out market research in rest homes and discovered the demand for mobile or cell phones from the over-65s.

“There are 110 million people over 65 in Europe and Russia and only 17% have mobile phones,” according to Handlgruber. None of the mainstream handset manufacturers has launched an oldies phone, but some appear to have recognised that enthusiasm for these handsets is not shared by everyone.

Vodaphone recently teamed up with French manufacturer Sagem to offer its “Vodaphone Simply” service of easy-to-use phones.

US manufacturer Motorola is launching its “Motofone” model worldwide, an ultra low-cost handset aimed at users in the developing world and those looking for basic handset in rich countries. “In Europe, we found that it was the unconnected over-50s who have never owned a mobile phone because it was too complicated and the display was too small.” Kim Heikkinen of Idem, a Finnish-based mobile phone design consultancy, says that no major manufacturer has successfully developed a phone for seniors who are bamboozled by mobile technology.

Emporia has sold 50,000 handsets since August, export manager Handlgruber claimed, and the group is currently expanding out of its core Austrian and German market. “I do feel there is a market for this kind of device,” said Gavin Byrne of Infoma. “It is difficult to calculate the exact number, but the growth of handset sales is slowing down in developed countries and it is the question now of finding groups of people who are underserved. - AFP

There’s Been a Death in the Opposite House There’s been a death in the opposite house As lately as today. I know it by the numb look Such houses have always. The neighbors rustle and out, The doctor drives away. A window opens like a pod, Abrupt, mechanically; Somebody flings a mattress out,The children hurry by; They wonder if It died on that,I used to as a boy. The minister goes stiffly in As if the house were his, And he owned all the mourners now, And little boys besides; And then the milliner, and the man Of the appalling trade, To take the measure of the house. There’ll be that dark parade Of tassels and of coaches soon; It’s easy as a sign,The intuition of the news In just a country town. Emily Dickinson a)
