 Fujitsu has designed an Android-based smartphone, the Stylistic S-O1, with a number of features to improve functionality and reduce frustration for seniors.

• It comes with a rubberized skin and is more curved to fit in the hand.
• The home button stands out and is easy to identify.
• The touchscreen is less sensitive.
• It's equipped with an alarm, that when pressed will make a loud noise and call a pre-determined number.
• The Android interface is simplified with help and design elements familiar to seniors.
• Built-in apps, such as the camera, are simplified and clearly labelled.
• Text on the help pages is large.
• Buttons and text are larger, in general.

So far it's only available in Europe but should be rolled out further. A review with pictures can be found at TechCrunch.
