No Japanese bathroom should be without one, apparently Sometimes you suddenly come to your senses and ask yourself what in the world you are doing. This happened to me today, as I was taking pictures of a bikini-clad beauty who was brandishing a mobile phone while standing up to her knees in a swimming pool on the roof of a nine-storey building in central Tokyo.â¦

(InfoWorld) - In the world of cellphones, it's the equivalent of a big-screen TV. Fujitsu's F904i, which goes on sale in Japan on Friday, packs a 3.1-inch widescreen display -- the largest yet seen on a handset with digital TV reception. When the clamshell phone is opened up, the 16:9 screen sits vertically but a clever mount means it can be twisted horizontally to the left or right allowing TV shows to be watched in widescreen with no letterboxing, which are the back bars seen above and below a widescreen image on a conventional TV. It also makes Web site browsing much easier than on a conventional cellphone screen. The phone also packs a browser for the PC as well as mobile Internet. If an e-mail comes in while TV is being watched, the phone displays an alert. Users can continue watching TV while reading or sending a reply -- thanks to the widescreen display. Other features include GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation, a music player, document viewer and a 3-megapixel camera with Fujitsu's Milbeaut image processor, which is used in conventional digital still cameras. The F904i measures 108 millimeters by 50 millimeters by 22 millimeters and weighs 138 grams. Fujitsu says the battery will provide up to 190 minutes of talk time and up to 550 hours on standby. The phone will be available in Japan through NTT DoCoMo. While it won't be available overseas, it provides a taste of what might be coming soon from other handset makers as digital TV becomes more popular.

(InfoWorld) - LG.Philips Co. will next week unveil what it says is the world's slimmest cell phone display. The TFT (thin-film transistor) LCD (liquid crystal display) is just 1.3 millimeters thick and has been developed for use in the super-slim handsets that are currently popular with cell phone makers and users. The panel is about 32 percent thinner than displays currently used in cell phones, which measure between 1.9 millimeters and 2.9 millimeters thick, according to the company. At present theÂ thinnest phone on the marketÂ is Samsung Electronics' SGH-X820, which is just 6.9 millimeters thick. By utilizing the new display, phones even thinner than this could be realized, said LG.Philips. It will also allow for slider-type phones to break the 10 millimeter barrier, the company said. The screen is due to be unveiled at the SID Mobile Displays 2006 event in San Diego, California, that begins on Oct. 3. Â

No compromise on functionality? Review Ultra-slim phones are a gimmick, right? Yes, they're mere millimetres from front to back, but in shaving off around half the thickness of a standard candybar, the phone makers must have compromised on the skinny handset's feature set, surely? Sony Ericsson's Walkman-branded W880 is now readily available - we look at how well it measures up.â¦
