Your cellphone doesn’t quite have the power the PSP has, though it’s trying. The Seiko Epson Corp are pushing the future of cellphone software forward with their 3-D display for mobile phones. With about 500 PPI of resolution, this 3D display is a sight to see with no 3-D glasses needed:

“[It's] one of the world’s highest resolutions of direct-view-type displays that do not use projectors,” says Goro Hamagishi, general manager of the Display Development Center, Corporate Research & Development Div, Seiko Epson Corp.

This is done using a special lens called lenticular lens that, when placed over pixels, is possible to make different images be seen from different angles. Similar to the ‘real-time’ 3-D image rendering system, several cameras are used to shoot images from different angles. It is then that the 3-D image takes its true form. The company plans on commercializing this display within the next two years. Until then, you’ll have to hold yourself over with Doom RPG for your cellphone.

Everyone knows how annoying it is to be woken up by that stupid repetitive beeping you alarm clock makes at 5:30 in the morning. All this does is start off your day wrong; a sure sign that your day is going to go down hill fast. Now if you woke up to some of your favorite tunes, then you’d probably wake up a lot happier, making your day a lot better. The Seiko MuPass alarm clock seems like a normal clock from the outside, but look deeper and you will find your dream come true: this alarm clock can download polyphonic ringtones for your morning listening pleasure. All you have to do is bring your cellphone and transfer the songs to the MuPass via the infrared port. If you know that you’ll get sick of one song after about one day, then go big and fill up the memory of the clock: 4000 tunes. That’s over 12 years of glorious tunes for you; that should be enough to make you happy. The only problem is that this is only for sale in Japan at a price of $75, so for now just wake up to the radio, at least its music. — Nick Rice
