Robots and mobile phones are huge in Japan so it was only a matter of time for the two to come together thanks to KDDI AU. The concept Polaris is a Sony Rolly-like robot with a mobile phone dock. It's supposed to act as a life recorder keeping track of everything you do, then giving you recommendations.
Originally created as an Adobe AIR application, Tiltshift Generator has made its way to the iPhone and if the absolute massive Flickr group is any indication, I'm not the only one hooked.
How brilliant is this phone?!? Okay, brilliantly genius or brilliantly impossible - that's for you to decide but designer Seunghan Song does a good job at wetting my desire. Ewww. It's true. I digress.

How many times do I need to say "DO WANT" to express my lust over the just announced Palm Pre smartphone. Everybody knows the company was pretty much sitting just about 6 feet under with Blackberries and iPhone shoveling in the gravel but I dare I say, this is an iPhone killa! For real y'all, I'm writing Palm's press agent right now to get a review unit for Yanko Design.
Mobile phones are getting so thin, they're almost ignoring every rule of handheld ergonomics. Designer Heikki Juvonen decided to backtrack and redesign a futuristic mobile complete with all modern accoutrements but with realistic ergonomics in mind. The end result is a phone he believes is perfectly balanced in the hand placing the heavy components towards the bottom. The unique profile shape also helps it sit better in the hand providing multiple surface areas to grip.
Making sure to flex its concepting muscles, KDDI au just announced their PLY mobile phone concept inspired by sandwiched plywood. Each section is tabbed to core functions like a dialpad, keyboard, gamepad, touchscreen, pico project, and printer! Will it ever see the light of day? Hard to say. Miniaturizing some of those proposed functions seems beyond what science and technology can achieve now but never underestimate the Japanese.
More pics after the jump.
