New colour variation Media Skin
Do you guys remember the New Colour Variation poll AU KDDI was running for the Media Skin cellphone which I mentioned about a few months back? No? Uh, OK… here’s a quote from my original entry:

Media Skin launches 3/23
… which happens to be this coming Friday. As much as I love the design of the Media Skin, I’ve actually let the chance of owning it slip by recently getting the Sony Ericsson W44S.
No doubt, the Media Skin is probably one of the coolest phones around but just like all designer phones that have come before it, the specs for some components seem out-of-date. I understand that a phone like this is more about the ‘looks’ than the ’spec’ but sometimes I really wonder, why the sacrifices?

… the 812SH by Sharp on SoftBank. Quite frankly speaking, nothing about this cellphone tickles my fancies but being a designer, of course I’m attracted by the available 20 Pantone colours (color matching system). I guess they will only look good if you have all 20 displayed side-by-side like the image above. Whereas, each one by itself, hmmmmmm…

KDDI AU Design project’s MEDIA SKIN cellphone by heavyweight Japanese designer, Tokujin Yoshioka, is about to be released on AU’s network and is one of only a few designer cellphones I actually like (I like talby and INFOBAR 2).

Well, the much rumoured widescreen iPod, touch screen interface, etc., happens to be the new revolutionary Apple cellphone, iPhone. It runs Mac OSX and is basically the internet in your pocket! A combined widescreen iPod, mobile phone and internet communicator, is just 11.6mm wide, and with a touch screen (no keypad)! An incredible device!
To be honest, even from years ago, I didn’t think too much of an Apple cellphone. I thought, besides putting iChat on there, what else can they do? No way would they ever be able to beat some of the cellphone makers in Japan. Even today, before MacWorld kicked off, I still wasn’t excited about an Apple phone. But now, after seeing/reading about what it can do, I’m totally gobsmacked!! Apple has reinvented the phone, period! I so frikkin’ want one!!
All this bolds well for a new, wide-screen, multi-touch iPod! It has to be just around the corner!

New Sony Ericsson W44S
… cellphone coming in early December on Japan’s AU network! Damn, look at it! It’s got a rocket launcher attached to it! Uh, OK, that was a bit of an exaggeration - how about a laser beam thingy? Either way, this looks just like something James Bond would use! I want this phone!
