I have a hard time believing that women will go for Allen Liu's Escort Shopping Phone. The Escort Shopping Phone is designed to streamline the process of shopping, letting women try on and purchase clothes without needing to step into the store.
The Escort Shopping Phone works by taking your picture and displaying it in a mirror. You can then browse through a store's catalog of clothes and virtually try them on. The clothes are displayed over your body and if you like them you can buy them from your phone. Boyfriends will no doubt love this design as it will cut off the countless awkward hours spent waiting outside of dressing rooms. Shopping is a social thing for women, and I doubt they'd take to a phone that eliminates that aspect of their lives. Regardless, the concept is an interesting one, although I think it may work better as an app under the name of "boyfriend's best friend."
