The Pomegranate NS08 has been earmarked as the mobile device of the future. You could call it the Swiss Army Knife of phones; it’s a sleek red and silver tear drop-shaped technology library.
The phone has a built-in projector, a must for portable movie theater buffs; it has a coffee brewer, razor, language translator and is a musical instrument, all in one.
Or is it just a publicity stunt to promote Nova Scotia, a place in Canada that recently launched a ‘come to life tourism campaign?’ If yes, it’s a sneaky viral e-marketing ploy that has everyone drooling for a product that doesn’t exist.
While not everyone agrees with their awareness methods, handset manufacturers should take note; they have some pretty brilliant ideas on their hands!
