SoftBank 815T PB (Toshiba) is a real 3G phone with a 3.2m auto focus camera and all the basic functions you would expect of today’s phones.  Created for Ketai Sousakan 7 a Japanese TV drama, the phone has a robot kit that you actually glue to the case.  Once installed, the phone transforms just like the ones in the popular movie Transformers 3.  Have the Japanese gone too far or is this the start of a whole new mobile device trend for the masses?  I don’t know about you, but I’m already searching for an online store to buy one…

This week, Amazon introduced us to the all-new Kindle.  Simply called Kindle, this newest version is being touted by Amazon as “Smaller, Lighter, Faster with 50% Better Contrast.”

The two new models, one with Wi-Fi and the other with 3G and Wi-Fi, are lighter at 8.5 ounces and 8.7 ounces respectively.  They have more storage space, now able to hold 3500 books.  The battery life on the wireless model will hold a charge for one month with wireless turned off or 3 weeks with it turned on.  The 3G model can last 1 month with no wireless or 3G and 10 days with them turned on.
