One of the things the convergence of technology, mass production and economies of scale leads to is disposable technology. We’ve seen it for a while now with cheap, disposable cameras and now, mobile phones are next. The Hop-On Hop 1800 is a USD $10.00 prepaid mobile phone with no screen, and is ideal for a cheap backup phone or for travellers.
The cute phone weighs less than 3 ounces and will be sold through retail outlets such as convenience stores. Greenies need not fear - the company offers a $5.00 rebate for returning the phone for recycling.
