Coming across eastern design patterns on gadgets these days is not an unusual site! The latest handset to espouse an eastern design is CECT 'IP1000' mobile phone which boasts of a flower pattern. With such a feminine design, I am not sure if there will be any men interested in the handset!

The IP100 may be a pretty face but it does boast of a 4 megapixel camera and includes features like; .2-inch 260,000 color QVGA TFT LCD, 1000 hours of stand-by time, 24 hours of playtime for mp3 files, or 12 hours of mp4 video files. For all the vocabulary buffs, there is an electronic dictionary too and you can also jot down your thoughts in the notepad application. No word on pricing or availability.
