X-Ray Phone By Tokujin Yoshioka


If we at Awesome Robo can say anything about the Japanese phone industry, its that its on another level.  On our last trip to Toyko we noticed that we couldn't recognize any of the brands that people used, and that the technology was years ahead.

Iphone 4 Facetime?  We saw it being used in 2007 quite often on the streets of Tokyo.  This recent specimen from a Japanese designer shows some awesome forward thinking with retro aesthetics.  The exterior shows off something quite retro while the interior displays a high resolution screen with an 8 megapixel camera.  Sweet design, but will we ever see this on shores outside of Japan?

  6. Looks cool. But is it really necessary to have an x-ray phone?
