E-Ink Cellphone Concept

This is a concept phone that uses E-Ink. The idea is that the user can customize the front face, phone pad, turn it into a QWERTY keyboard, MP3 player or whatever. I think the thinness of this device is a bit much to expect given the proposed functionality, but not outside the realm of the…

Samsung’s 7.7 Megapixel Cameraphone

The SCH B500 should be considered a camera with some phone functions. This is obviously more importantly a camera than an actual phone. The camera is 7.7 megapixels and it even has an optical zoom.

There Was a Text Messaging World Record?

Yes, that’s right, not only was there a text messaging world record, but now it’s been broken. Obviously by someone really, really bored or just unable to speak words to other human beings.

Kyocera’s W41K Uber Phone

This new phone from Kyocera sets itself off from the others for three main reasons. The first of which is its anti-shake technologies for the integrated 3.2 megapixel camera. In my day-to-day usage, my camera phone is used most when there are certain alcoholic beverages involved: how am I supposed to blackmail someone when the…

Get Ready for Mobile TV

Props for the Mobile DTV alliance, formed by bigwigs including Nokia, Intel Corp., Motorola, Texas Instruments and Modeo.

Project-a-Phone

This is a handy little device. It lets you grab the image from your cellphone or PDA and link it to a PC. From there, it’s PowerPoint heaven, I guess. Or you could just show everyone the blurry rock concert photos you’ve been collecting all these months. In any case, the Project-a-Phone is essentially a…

The KDDI “neon” Phone

I’m still reeling from this KDDI phone by Naoto Fukasawa (the latest in the au design project series). The English version of the flash site has not been added, so I’m hoping one of our Japanese-speaking readers can supply more accurate details in a few hours. From what I can tell, this has an organic…

Casio Cell Phone

Ah, the mysteries of the cellphone world. Why does Japan get gadgets and phones from companies that won’t even think about selling those things here in the US? Well, most of them are Japanese or Korean companies after all, so I guess they’re saving the best stuff for themselves. Also, we’re so damn picky and…
