The latest smartphone from Toshiba is looking pretty sleek. Is it me or is every smartphone looking like the iPhone lately? Anyway, according to a source, the smartphone’s marketing theme is currently undergoing a viral marketing process but SlashGear has already did a preliminary review on the slicker and it’s looking (and feeling) really good. So until Toshiba launches it officially on their site, we will have to wait for it’s unveil.
A guy who think Japanese cellphones are too complex.
Check out his glasses but interesting comparison, nonetheless.
The F706i is Fujitsu’s fifth waterproof cellphone. And because it is no longer a novelty product as Fujitsu’s has run through the waterproof concept for five times, this time the F706i boasts of 1-seg TV, a double-hinge style and is a slim 16.5mm. The mobile carrier for these waterproof babies is NTT Docomo. If you do a lot of serious swimming or lounging by the pool, better think about getting the F706i because accidents happen. Oops!
Specs:
* HSDPA support
* 1-Seg mobile TV
* Waterproof up to 3m
* 2.7″ display
* 2 megapixel camera
* microSD/SDHC memory card slot
Here are some pretty girls using the F706i to boot.
Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola and NTT DoCoMo are talking about uniting their respective mobile OS to form 1 open mobile software platform.
Together with AT&T, LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone they plan to establish the Symbian Foundation to extend the appeal of this unified software platform. Membership of this non-profit Foundation will be open to all organizations. This initiative is supported by current shareholders and management of Symbian Limited, who have been actively involved in its development.
Nokia announced plans to acquire the remaining shares of Symbian Limited that Nokia does not already own and then contribute the Symbian and S60 software to the Foundation. Sony Ericsson and Motorola today announced their intention to contribute technology from UIQ and DOCOMO has also indicated its willingness to contribute its MOAP(S) assets. From these contributions, the Foundation will provide a unified platform with common UI framework. A full platform will be available for all Foundation members under a royalty-free license, from the Foundation’s first day of operations.
A royalty free license? We are in for a treat! :)
Can someone tell me what phone this is?
Check out this hilarious clip:
The guy gives a short intro on the phone as well.
Cool, now you can buy Wii Points from your cellphone by the middle of this month or NOW. Check out the press release by KDDI here…
In the middle of December, you will be able in Japan to purchase Wii Points directly from your mobile phone, without needing any credit card. Simply put, from your mobile phone you will have the possibility to add Wii points to your account (1000, 2000 or 3000 Yen), without the need of using a credit card; the amount you choose will be later on added to your mobile phone monthly bill. Simple and painless !
Here’s another method of using the Bluetooth. Japanese engineers are not stopping at cellphones only, they’re making wireless controlled robots too…
