Or how about

'Samsung Australia has released its E530 handset, hoping to corner the female market. The pink phone can count calories, measure body fat and store the weekly shopping list. It can even be programmed to tell a woman when she is ovulating. And yes, it has a camera and MP3 music player.'’*
Or how about a phone that tells you when marketers are making yet another piece of crap that you don’t really need and pandering to your gender stereotype to get you to buy it? Huh? It could beep really loud or cough the words ‘Bullshit! Bullshit alert’.

What about a phone for women that has GIS, a map of public toilets and baby change areas, capsicum spray for dark stations at night, photos of the arctic icecaps melting to remind you why you are catching the train to start with, all of Proust and Wolfe’s works and a searchable database of the romantic poets, a scientific calculator, a flashlight, a lie detector, a breath tester (in both senses of the word), an instant translator, an emergency spring-forth umbrella and raincoat, a tape recording of yourself last time you had a really bad hangover imploring your future self not to have a round of tequila shots. And a camera and MP3 player.
