Hop-on, Inc. today launched a GPS tracking phone for children that kids wear like a wristwatch. Called the Chitter Chatter phone, they claim it is the world’s smallest GSM / Enhanced Location-Based-Services(LBS) Locator Phone. The Chitter Chatter phone will cost less than $50 and it will simply use the Internet or any phone with SMS capabilities to quickly identify the location of the device within 300+ feet, in approximately 1 minute.
The ChitterChatter Phone allows kids to stay in touch with close family and friends, or send their location by pressing the one-touch star button, while letting parents manage costs. The phone also features a speaker function. Dick Tracy would be proud!

Cool idea, nice price point, but I have yet to see a new product announcement from Hop-On actually materialize. The last one was the $40 WIFI VOIP Phone they were bringing to market that has, up until now, remained vaporware.
WHERE DO YOU BUY THIS PHONE ANYWAY???
Nice solution, nice price, but ugly product. How in the world do you expect a 13 year old boy to wear that. It's a great solution for pre-schoolers, but once kids start going to school they'll stop wearing that.
Good after noon
