Walkie-talkie Get’s A Sexy New Look

Almost every tech gadget now comes in a sexy new avatar except for the humble Walkie-talkie! Thanks to the Talky, hopefully some biggie (like SONY) will be inspired to redo the design and give it a fitting new look.

• TALKY uses the same technical radio to send the voice.
• The antenna is integrated in the frame.
• It sports a touch screen and doesn’t have many buttons.
• The screen is always off to save the battery.
• When we need to change the channel or check the information, we wake up the screen with the button.
