Mobile devices doesn't fix bad parenting. The kid should be taught how to stick to the parents and what to do in event of being separated. When I went out as a kid with my parents, my dad would decide on an obvious meeting place as we stepped out of the car or entering the mall. When I was even younger (<10), mom would hold my hands.
I kind of understand why kids like to wander off as they're easily attracted by interetsing (they think) stuffs. If mom and dad don't response to the "hey mom, look! that's cool! mom. mom?...", the kid will then go and check it out him/herself.
Getting back to cellphones. If the kid is away from the family for most of the time and not being at a few fixed places (e.g. home, school, grandma's, Tom's) he'll probably need one.
However terribly designed, the open architecture has freed us from being locked down to a particular platform. That's the first thing that came to mind. But when I think of my first 80286 in the late 80s, it is the (relatively) cheap pricing that has the greatest impact me. If it wasn't for the cheap price tag back then, I wouldn't even get a computer in the first place. Forget about being locked down to a particular manufacturer.
