Tamagotchi makes its way to the cellphone

The good folks at Bandai has decided to offer the Tamagotchi on cellphones to ensure that the cellphone receives as much, if not more, loving compared to your iPods, Sony PSPs, and Nintendo DS Lites. The cellphone-residing Tamagotchi will alert owners whenever it requires some food, a lullaby to lull it to sleep, and various other Tamagotchi needs. Forget Nintendogs and other latecomers – the Tamagotchi is much simpler and more accessible, opening up new avenues of pet ownership. You can purchase the Tamagotchi virtual pet for the cellphone via most major U.S. cellphone carrier networks.
