Dual Screen Netbook Concept Actually Looks Practical
I was pretty skeptical about Kohjinsha's dual 10.1-incher when I first wrote about it, but it actually looks decently engineered in this video. The second display simply slides out behind the first, like on GScreen's Spacebook and Lenovo's W700. More » -

Yamaha Quietly Shows Off 1mm-Thick Cloth Speaker
Yamaha's booth at CEATEC featured a few cloth posters with mundane advertisements on them that seem to lack any attention-grabbing oomph—until you step directly in front of them and realize that they're incredibly thin directional speakers. Whoa! More » -

Mitsubishi's Modular 155-Inch OLED Screen
Remember the advertising-laden skyscrapers from Blade Runner? Mitsubishi's now got the tech to do it: its Diamond Vision screen uses individual 4-inch square OLED panels that can scale to an unlimited size. Check out the 155-incher on show at CEATEC: More » -

Toshiba's Stylish Next-Gen Smartphones Could Arrive This Year
Back in April, some pretty interesting renders of Toshiba's upcoming mobile product line leaked out, and now seemingly near production-ready versions of the slick-looking WinMo 6.5 devices are on show at CEATEC (Japan's version of CES). Take a look: More » -

Fujitsu F-Circle Rotary Smartphone Comes from Past's Future
Fujitsu says that their F-Circle concept phone—designed by Yuji Ito and shown at CEATEC in Japan—has a "timeless appearance." Liars. I know your cellphone comes straight from the 60s, and apparently it can detect land mines. [Pink Tentacle] -

Video: Toshiba's Latest Fuel Cell Prototype Gadgets Charge in Seconds
At Japan's CEATEC show, Toshiba and KDDI are demonstrating a modified Toshiba T002 phone that's powered by a direct-methanol fuel cell (DMFC) and Li-Ion battery. More advanced than previous prototypes, it runs for 320 hours on a squirt of methanol. More » -

What Is This Guy Doing?
What is Mr. Roboto doing here? Perhaps checking some CEATEC booth girl's ass? Staring at the suspicious character crawling towards him off camera, the one dressed as a giant pink chicken? No, the answer is much cooler than all that: More » -

Kohjinsha Netbook Concept Has Dual 10.1-inch Screens
I'm still not sure about this dual-screen laptop thing, but it's interesting to see more concepts come out of the woodwork. The latest is Kohjinsha's dual 10.1-inch screen netbook prototype, which is on display at the CEATEC show in Japan. More » -

Toshiba's Cell-Powered REGZA 55X1 LCD TV Can Record and Display 8 Channels At Once
Toshiba's first TV with the PS3 Cell processor it helped develop has seriously kick-ass specs. For starters: The 55-incher's LED backlighting divides the 240Hz display into 512 individually controlled areas, and has a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1. More » -

Panasonic EZ Touch Remote Features Dual-Touchpads, Simple But Effective Interface
Remote controls might not be the sexiest of gadgets to overhaul, but Panasonic's done a pretty neat job with this recent revamp. The company demoed a touch-sensitive remote at CEATEC, which features a touchpad on each end of the device and a crowd of buttons in the middle. Instead of using a touchscreen like many of its high-end ilk, the EZ Touch Remote superimposes an image of a traditional remote control on the television screen. More » -

JVC Pseudo 3D Glasses Don't Cause Headaches, Still Look Dorky
Digital tech has reinvigorated the 3D dream since the cardboard glasses and headaches of yesteryear. JVC showed off a nifty prototype TV at CEATEC outside Tokyo that converts high-def 2D video into what it calls "pseudo 3D" in real time. With the eyewear on, it takes a few moments for your brain to adjust, and then footage of the Alps in spring starts taking on eye-popping depth. It's not exactly convincing enough to want to reach out and touch the wildflowers, though it makes regular flatscreens seem, well, very flat in comparison. More » -

KDDI Cellphone Concepts from the Space Age
Japan cellphone carrier KDDI has a knack for turning out handsets that belong in museums. Past hit designs like the INFOBAR, talby, neon and MEDIA SKIN made into the permanent collection at the MoMa in New York. The trendy telecom showed off some of its concepts at CEATEC outside Tokyo, showcasing the talents of Hideo Kambara, a designer from Hiroshima who also made into the MoMa with his Kadokeshi eraser that has 28 corners. Kambara's PLY phones are inspired by songs, novels, numbers and symbols. PLY means "lamination layers," according to KDDI, and the whimsical handsets in the series include concepts like a mobile projector, a printer, a game controller, tissue dispenser, and a mint tablet dispenser. The other concept phones from KDDI include models resembling jewel boxes and satellites, and are apparently equipped with mini solar panels. Just in case civilization fails, there's always the sun.

Fujitsu Concept Phone Can Be Pulled Apart, Reconfigured
Proving that Japan always has the coolest concept phones, this Fujitsu device shown at CEATEC lets you separate your screen and touchscreen keypad in whatever configuration you like. Both parts can be used separately or stuck together by magnets, and where you stick the screen on the keypad determines what the touchscreen shows. The screen module contains software functions, including video recording and games, while the keyboard is responsible for communication tasks, such as 3G and radio. No idea whether this will be one of the few CEATEC concepts that make its way into reality, but I sure hope I see it on shelves someday. [Akihabara News]
