3G - now with remote control

22nd May 2003 by Simon

As we know, mini remote control cars have been the unexpected success of the last eighteen months, so what better way to boost the slow sale of 3G handset - combine the two! NEC has launched a phone that can control two Konami mini racing cars.

Given that 3G phones have dropped to a quarter of their launch price in the UK - they’re now £99 - will they be bundling this next?

    The IR also isn’t great if you don’t keep a line-of-sight to the car.

    From the webpage: “The communication is achieved via infrared comms”.

    Pretty poor, considering it’s bleeding edge technology! SonyEricsson demonstrated the same sort of thing over bluetooth at CeBIT.
