Moleskine unveils SIM-less 'Analog Texting system'
The famous design company has come up with a notebook that allows text messaging without the need for a SIM card —or even a mobile phone. On its website, Moleskine said that it decided to celebrate the 20th anniversary of SMS texting —the first text message was sent in 1992— with a limited-edition notebook that becomes "a ballistic device for launching analog text messages".
Here's the fun part: to launch the message, the user must fold the paper in four, then load it onto a “slingshot” attached to the notebook cover.
The launching pad even has three notches indicating how far the message can be launched —up to 5.18m away, according to the company. The notebook includes 56 pieces of paper ammunition, including pre-printed messages such as "I love you," "call me," "the answer is...," etc.
Moleskine's new notebook's brand of short messaging system allows the sending of texts the old-fashioned way, tech site ForeverGeek.com reported.
However, ForeverGeek.com said it was not too impressed with the old SMS offered by the notebook, saying it was "bordering on lame."
"Give me the good old paper airplanes. I do not need to pay more for analog messaging!" it said. — TJD, GMA News
