Not everything at CTIA 2012 is meant to be the most high-tech and chic device out there. Clarity, a mobile and accessories company aimed at seniors, displayed one such device called Pal.
Pal is a simple feature phone made for an older audience, or for those with disabilities. It will be available starting May 28 online, for $99.
