Hi: I couldn't glean much from the web about the O6, apart from that
its iPhone only and starts at £60. Would you mind enlightening me as

hi les,
i was also one of the original flik button backers and i can assure you
there's nothing similar about them, infact compared to the O6 i would
describe the flik as a toy.

Mind you, the flik button Android app is 100%inaccessable. I emailed
them about this, but they have no understanding of or desire to make
it accessable.
