It has every feature under the sun! Hitomi: Every feature? Jason: It has a high quality camera and video camera, and it’s a videophone. It has a great GPS program, too. The touch- screen and the keyboard are easy to use and everything is so intuitive. Even a child could use it. Hitomi: Yeah, but a child couldn’t afford the expensive price tag, right? Jason: True enough, but it has a removable SIM card and is Bluetooth compatible. I can even use it as an e-book reader, and download apps for just about anything I want to do. No child’s toy could do all of those things. Hitomi: Yes, that’s true, but I have just one question. Jason: What? Hitomi: Can you make a telephone call on it? Jason: A telephone call? You mean a regular phone call? Yes, I think so. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
