Though we can’t really trust the stuff that comes out of China, this does look good and interesting. More so because, it is priced $102, which is dirt-cheap. This can also serve as a great media player, which not only offers music, or video options but also radio options.

KDDI Corp has unveiled a number of cool mobile concepts that simply blow your mind. The best one perhaps is the “gakki to keitai” which has a cool design and of course unique features. It is the fusion of a mobile phone and a musical instrument as well as a model equipped with a solar battery. Developed in collaboration with Yamaha Design Institute, it can be describes as a mobile phone that plays and also as a music instrument that makes and receives calls.

The phone with the guitar motif “Strings for fingers” has 10 strings under the sliding display on the handset. The “Band in my pocket” is a bar-shaped terminal equipped on its side with an attachment those functions as a harmonica, trombone, etc. The “Sticks in the air” phone is designed to look like a drumstick.

Here is something new from the Fujisoft Inc. they have developed the Ulexit video player and this software can be used with a VOD service called the “Minna-no (everybody’s) Theater Wii” for Wii. The player itself looks pretty interesting and supports MPEG2, WMV, MPEG4 and H.264 among many others.
This is a compact software and doesn’t not take up a lot of memory. It allows digital streaming and DRM encoding technology and hence would be able to meet the demands of an increasingly technology dependent world.

Dreams are what inventions and concepts are all about. If you had dreamed ever if a TV, a telephone and a media server could interact with each other, Toshiba seems to have the answer. However, it still is in a concept stage and will take a while for it to materialize.
In this new system, a media server will automatically download media files from the cellphone just when the user drops near the field communication or NFC. Later, the media files can be projected on a wireless HD 1080p TV. However, this being a concept, I won’t be able to swear by it. I could only swear that Toshiba always manages to pull it off, whatever the concept is, and most of its products are great success.
It would be interesting to see a product that lets all these three gadgets interact with one another and finally have a synthesized result.
