In defense of these keitai-toting tots (my kid isn't one of them BTW) -- or
rather the parents who so equip them -- if my 10 year-old kid was commuting
to and from school an hour each way, I would want it to have a keitai.
Actually I would want to nix that commute, but so many parents are
unwilling/unable to do so; the keitai is better than nothing.
