Easy Mobile Calling, also known as EMC, is a concept phone by Matthias Pinkert. Meant to be a no-frills handset, it sounds as though retirees as well as baby boomers will welcome this phone instead of newer handsets released these days that have more functionality that Alexander Graham Bell could not have imagined of. You get four keys for direct calling, one-touch calling, GPS tracking (old folks and their memories) and an integrated speaker phone for easy hands-free calls. The EMC will come with a lanyard that makes it all the harder for its user to misplace the handset. Too bad this is but a concept at this point of time, and coming in a clamshell form factor, it might be hard for some folks who have lost dexterity in their fingers to pry it open in the event of an incoming call.
