Removing, Supplementing Core Features
Raku Raku 3G phone for sale in Japan - targeted at elderly users. Includes a slider where the owner can write phone book entries instead of using the elecronic address book. Taking core features such as the address book outside the phone can benefit non-literate and elderly users.
The fetching model holding the phone in the top photo? Here.

In my opinoin, it is very important for user experience researchers to have an open mind and a dedicated attitude anywhere and anytime. And you?
