AT&T and Verizon cancel “kiddy phones”
Friday, April 13th, 2007Well, they had a good run. But it’s unfortunate that both major wireless carriers have ceased selling the Migo and Firefly, two phones with reduced keypads and functionality. They were designed for kids, but served well for people with impaired dexterity and/or cognitive disabilities. We talk a lot about universal design and how products that serve both disabled and non-disabled customers should be able to sustain themselves in the market. In that context, this news looks like failure. What do you think is going on?
