Japanese Cellphone Robot

Employee for Japanese mobile communication giant Softbank, Kenichi Yuasa, displays the mobile phone called the “Softbank 815T PB (PhoneBraver)”, produced by Japanese electronics giant Toshiba, which transforms into a robot shape.

It seems to be useful for those who feel a bit lonely just talking on the phone. Softbank Mobile Corp.’s new mobile line looks like a small humanoid with attachable arms and legs, with the screen showing various faces.

Although this cellphone robot doesn’t move by itself, it comes with enough artificial intelligence to learn the user’s habits. If the user calls a particular person many times, a text phrase such as “You’re calling her often these days, aren’t you?” comes out of the face’s mouth.

This cellphone robot will be released in April, price is not disclosed yet. (source: AFP)
