This month, a robotic staff member named Wakamaru will be coming to the Japanese clothing store Uniqlo in New York’s trendy SoHo neighborhood. Designed by Mitsubishi, the robot can express emotions, make eye contact, and it’s outfitted with facial recognition software.

Some Japanese dude has decided to play sword with phones, and he’s using the Mitsubishi D903iTV DMB one-button push slider to attack the Panasonic P902i, which also has a one-button push spring mechanism for the folder (Neither of them is cheap). In the GSM world, we can only throw Nokia N95 at people. –Sam Chan
If you keep track of Gearfuse, you would have an impression of the Mitsubishi D800iDS double internal screen phone we premiered the spypic and reported. One of the benefits of having 2 screens is actually for browsing webpages. The D800iDS, just like most other 3G phones from NTT DoCoMo, can install this JAVA full HTML Jig browser, and it works exceptionally well. First, you would have a map of the whole webpage on the upper screen, showing you where you are at, and you can zoom in and pan around using the subdisplay below. Then, when you need to type anything, simply call up the keyboard and the on screen T9 buttons will be activated (Photo after the jump), no stupid stylus needed. Not too shabby eh.
Just 4 hours after AU KDDI’s announcement, NTT DoCoMo announced the new WCDMA 703i series in Tokyo. Nothing out of our expectation as we wrote about before. Also announced are the SonyEricsson BRAVIA SO903iTV DMB phone and Mitsubishi’s double-internal screen D900iDS, both of which Gearfuse premiered on Sunday. The 703i series is the mid-low end of DoCoMo’s 3G portfolio, so don’t compare their specifications with that of the W5 series from AU KDDI. Take note that all these phones will only be available in Japan and Japan only, they will not be unlockable, and neither will other versions be released outside Japan as they are co-developed between NTT DoCoMo and the manufacturers. We have pictures and details of all these cool looking phones after the jump.
If you are a phone geek, than you will be aware of the buttonless dual-internal-screen flip phones that NTT DoCoMo showcased a while ago. Well, we got good news here because apparently Mitsubishi is going to bring this out commercially, putting it under NTT DoCoMo’s 800i (D800iDS?) series. — Sam Chan
Fridges are just getting smarter and smarter nowadays, first they put a computer screen and mounted the whole speaker there- that didn’t make big into the market; so they went back to basics. Mitsubishi came out with 3 great ideas. First they put the water purifier in there, so that you don’t have to boil anymore (some people do and some countries have to). Secondly they built movable storage decks with a switch that allows you to adjust the height between them without clearing what’s on top. And the best part, they started putting this Blue LED that helps plants grow. That’s right, plants in the fridge will undergo photosynthesis, even plants detached from the stalk will still undergo some level of photosynthesis, and this helps retain Chlorophyll in your vegies. As usual, these crazy fridges are only found in Japan. Catch the jump for a wonderful family happiness pic. It’s really worth the click.
