LG has announced the world’s first “skin phone,” the SH240, aimed at the Korean market. This 3G HSDPA phone has a 2-megapixel camera, video-calling, a media player, Bluetooth and a microSD slot. It also has a dictionary and a subway map (the utility of which escapes me). But the major selling point of the SH240 will definitely be its keypad, which, according to AVING has an almost skin-like feel to it. The keypad is manufactured using a combination of metal and silicon, giving it texture and elasticity similar to skin. I am not sure if people would want to feel like they are poking someone’s skin every time they dial a number. The SH240 is going to retail for around $400.
