Engadget: KDDI launched a wave of new phones this morning, but this is the one we really want to hold -- it's called the X-RAY, and it's one of two new products in the company's iida designer brand. Crafted by Tokujin Yoshioka, it's a high-end Japanese clamshell with a 1-Seg TV tuner, NFC payments, and an 8 megapixel camera -- you know, the usual -- but with a translucent case (also available in blue and black) that leaves nothing to the imagination.
The new Firefox OS phone is supposedly already being produced and the handset made by LG is looking absolutely great. Once you take a look at the prototype device, you’ll know why I’m saying this: the phone has a retro design that reminds me of the old GameBoy days I’ve enjoyed so much. While Firefox OS should be enough to make this phone pretty popular, the most interesting part of the device remains its design, which is actually transparent.
Remember the curious back typing keyboard prototype showed about at the beginning of this month? KDDI is a company that presented at CEATEC 2010 a working prototype of such a keyboard that uses a back touchscreen panel and a back mounted keyboard.
Even though i like smartphones, i would love to own one of these
When would the major companies start making one of these?
neahh..smartphones rules..i own a Samsung Galaxy S and it's the best phone ever!
I know that, but the design of Galaxy S isn't as awsome as x-ray's design. I was talking about looks
That red design reminds me of the Nintendo Virtual Boy. Other then that, a transparnet cover, is not anything special, I am sure if you are willing you could purchase one for your current phone, but would have to pay a premium price, but then I am sure said manufacture would just mass produce them and sell them anyway, void warranty at your own discression.
