Top 10 Gadgets for Social Media Addicts
INQ Phones
UK-based INQ takes a unique approach to social networking integration on mobile devices. It offers several phones specifically designed to integrate with Facebook and Twitter (
).
Other phones let you access Facebook (
) or Twitter of course, but the INQ phones are notable in part for not being smartphones — they’re designed more for the average user who doesn’t need all the bells and whistles of something like an iPhone, yet wants to be highly connected to their social networks on the go.
Some may decry the idea of a mobile phone being designed for such a singular purpose, but let’s remember that back in the day our phones were designed with truly one purpose in mind: to call people. In today’s world, “staying connected” involves more options than simply voice, and it makes sense that handset manufacturers would seek to cater to some of those methods without having to go whole hog and implement a full application platform on the device.
