So I know Gizmodo unearthed the newest solar powered mobile phone by Samsung just last month (June 09) seling for a cheapo $59..

but when I saw this solar panelled phone by talented Japanese threesome Mile for iida cellphones , I literally swooned (and I´m not an easy swooner).

So beautiful, so simple and so green...
The company behind this concept model works on the buddhist idea of universal soup, where everything liquifies and merges with everything else in perfect harmony.

Unfortunately ¨commericalisation is yet to be determined¨ according to their website. (T.T)

Sniff..it´s ok, I´ll wipe away my tears even though I could already see myself tripping out, high on my own happiness in a lush field of grass, making daisy chains and laying back on the grass, just like the solar panel phone (which to my knowledge has no other name) which doubles as display and recharge its batteries with the wholesome rays of the sun.

This lil beauty also teases us with camera, email, camera, music player and Internet features.

Sigh.

Only last week I was bitching about it being 2009 and we don´t even have hoverboards yet, or the cool 3D messages used by Leia to get in contact with Obiwan via R2D2.

NEC is promising a 3D monitor version for release within a year or so. Vague? yep.

But they say they´re going to make it for medicinal purposes first on 12.1 inch screens, THEN gaming monitors and mass produced portable TV´s for grubs like you and me.

Here´s the full lowdown.

I would have thought there would be more but ..meh.
the Asahi Shimbun reports only 200 Japanese fans of the iphone sweated it out on the streets of Omotesando district yesterday (Friday 26th June) outside the phone store Softbank to get their brand spanking new 3G iphone.

The crowd left happy with their 3 megapixel cameras, new video recording functions and net browsing speed at twice the speed of the last version.

Then they all headed over to geek district Akihabara to claim the perfect anime phone mascots..

The Asahi Shimbun says that whizzbang multimedia phone sales are up by 68% from last year. Recession? What recession?
