A mysterious T-swivel handset surfaced online recently and no one managed to find out what brand it belongs to… So, it got the reputation of being just another concept/idea/prototype, a decent one though, packing a QWERTY keyboard, front camera and a hot display. There’s also a touchpad and two mouse buttons beneath the keypad…
Hmmm… Android Phone?

Taiwanese researchers from the Industrial Technology Research Institute recently revealed a foldable screen concept, that can double its original size. We’ve seen many concept phones using this idea, but we’ve never come so close to seeing the real thing making it to production.
The new type of display uses a TFT-EPD technology (Thin Film Transistor Electrophoretic Display) and is limited to 5 inches for now. Here’s a neat gallery of concepts using this tech to feast your eyes on:

We’re all about concept phones, but sometimes we stop and take a glance at some console designs, just because we’re fanatic gamers and some of those consoles are incorporated in handsets. Well, this is not the case, as we’re dealing with a “desktop console”, the Sony Playstation Nano Blue Sky HD designed by Remo Wakeford.
This is a Nano version of the PlayStation console that comes with handheld joysticks that look like some sort of knuckleheads. You’ll control the device with the aid of your fingers who’ll press the joysticks’ four buttons. Of course, the console supports HD, BluRay and Bluetooth, so it’s more of a miniature PS3 than a brand new device.

RealFiction has some eye candy for the folks who want to see the future tech becoming present gadgetry, a groundbreaking product named Dreamoc.

I was sure that we were about to see some election-related devices coming up before the end of the month, but for now we’ll have to do with a BlackBerry skin designed by Robert Sareth.
Guess who adorns your phone? Mister Obama, the one and only Barack now accompanies you everywhere, reminding you to vote, vote, vote… and text your friends about it. What more to say? Virtual Mo… Mobama.. whatever that means.

This new smartphone looks like an XPERIA X1 alternative, but one that’s branded Willcom. The 03 handset was introduced at CEATEC 2008 in Japan and we’re dealing with a slider that features a 3 inch display with a 480 x 800 resolution.
The specs list also includes 1-Seg support, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, a 2 megapixel camera, microSD memory card slot and Windows Mobile 6.1.
No info on pricing and availability, but you should know that Willcom 03 will be available in Japan first, so it might not make it worldwide too soon. The battery of this device is incredible, lasting 420 hours in standby mode and functioning 360 hours in talk mode.

Motorola’s finally preparing a RAZR 2-style device, one that supports iDEN and has a 3 megapixel camera. Add an external touchscreen to that, Bluetooth, support for a 6GB SD card and a great piano black body. Seems we’ll even see a ModeShift keypad on CABO, while the rest of the specs are a mystery till now.
There’s even a supposed launch period for the Motorola i890, Q4 2008, so we’re bound to get an announcement soon enough.

In the latest Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”, the superhero uses Gotham’s handsets to “look through walls” in order to find out the position of the villains… Seems that this feature will soon be heading to KDDI phones as well, because the scientists of this company created a prototype that can use geomagnetic sensors, accelerometers and GPS to reveal its location.
This futuristic gizmo will render its surroundings on-screen in OpenGL and even cover areas that are not in sight. Is this the beginning of a huge Big Brother experiment conducted with the aid of our handsets?
You might not want to take your phone with you in order to hear someone calling the next time you take a shower… Who knows who’s spying?

Yes, we’ve shown you the KDDI music concept phones this summer and again a couple of hours ago, but now it’s time for them to create art. How? Through a promotional concert of the Yamaha Mobile Orchestra, that uses ONLY handsets to make music. We go classic first:
And then comes the Mario OST:
The last song is my personal favourite:
