Kosher Smartphone

An Israeli telecom company is offering ultra-Orthodox Jewish clients a kosher smartphone with Hasidic folk music ringtones and a menu in Yiddish, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Wednesday. While other firms have tapped into the religious market by offering phones free of Internet access, with no email or access to Facebook which could lead users into temptation, none has so far offered its services in Yiddish.

Mazel tov!

:D


"This phone has no text messages, Internet access, Facebook or email. It doesn't even have a camera," said the paper.



"And if you call from it on Shabbat, you will pay an exorbitant price of NIS 10 shekels ($2.93) per minute."

Basically they took an Amish Smartphone and translated it to Yiddish.

LOL at "Amish Smartphone".


Basically they took a regular phone from not too many years ago (before cameras on phones, etc), and translated it into yiddish.

I wonder if it's got megaphone preloaded.

I work with VUTEk Superwide UV Inkject printers. They are made in Israel, which I didn't always know. I did a double take the other day when I was working on it - I say to the guy who usually runs it, "Hey guy, why is this console set up in Hebrew?"

His answer, "Some guy from Israel had to VPN in to fix some issues and never set it back"

Despite being in the industry, I was surprised to learn that Israel is a major player in the printing equipment industry.

Does it blur out married women who don't wear something to cover their hair?

Interesting, when I had an Israeli girlfriend in 92-93, one of her friends was a partner in a newly started company producing superwide inkjet printers. Most probably it is the same company... He must be rich as a troll today!
