Tech Ticker

Chinese are famous for producing knockoffs but for a change, they have an original creation made specially for the Japanese people. Apart from offering the usual telephony and multimedia features, the Odin 99 phone allows Buddhists to pray to Buddha anywhere, anytime. It works by pressing the Lotus button that shows an animated Buddha emerging from the Lotus. A user can then select from two different statues and offer different items to the God. There’s also an interactive lighting, animated incense sticks and chant ringtones. The phone comes at an undisclosed price but it includes a Buddhist metal charm and a spare battery.
