Japanese Keitai Beats iPhone
The next generation of cell phones is here already and far surpasses the capabilities of the Apple iPhone.
Tokyo Times says that in Japan however, the priorities for portable products are a little different – advancements in camera technology in particular garnering a lot of attention.
The the new Japanese 5005X has x-ray settings from Min to Max. Akihabara News understandably says it can now understand why everybody in the subway is spending so much time looking at their phones.
One commenter wondered whether the x-rays may be cancer-causing but if it was set to Max all the time then life would become like a clip from Kairo or The Phone.
But I just wonder if it really works? Sadly, probably not — this generation anyway — but the engineers are obviously on the right track, since the device might have other applications?
Errr … please don’t tell me you truly think that this is for real??
First, it comes from this forum :

Second, I doubt that any ad agency would use a very outdated picture of Rena Tanaka for its campaign.
June 25th, 2007 at 4:52 amOh–I’m gullible but guess I don’t really think the ad is for real. Suppose it was just that it seemed a good excuse to use the picture plus found the skeleton at MAX setting to be funny! But I suspect you are then also not going to like the upcoming item about the Home Nuclear Generator. I tell you upfront that the ad may have been misleading…

June 25th, 2007 at 5:54 amThis is amazing. Did you guys look at the smaller pictures demonstrating MIN — MAX? If you look, the naked girl in the middle is still wearing shorts…
June 25th, 2007 at 7:55 amWell–that’s only Medium–of COURSE she would still have shorts at that setting! You have to go closer to MAX but without going for total skeleton to get the full picture. I kind of find the skeleton very amusing–but guess I would be the only guy on the train looking at skeletons? Hmmm.. maybe I am kind of old or sick or something…
June 25th, 2007 at 8:43 amYes–good catch–Coolpis is actually the Korean copy-cat and the writing is obvious. But just couldn’t resist–who would drink Kimchi-flavored Coolpiss?
June 25th, 2007 at 11:06 amThis is simply physically impossible. X-rays do not work like that. Remember the last time you had one, and had to press your chest against a plate? That’s the photographic film that receives the x-rays blasted at you. No way could you take an x-ray skeleton like that with reflected x-ray light. The topless one is also silly, also for reasons noted.

June 25th, 2007 at 2:26 pmYou sure could see some some pretty horrible sights with a phone like that
June 27th, 2007 at 10:12 amYou know what Riki? You are SO right! Most people think of perverse application on subways and school yards of such a device while I only think of saving money at the dentist. But what do we see in movies? Always the guy has an eye operation or whatever and next thing he can see everything. And a hospital is a bad place to be if you don’t like to see ghosts right? Yes, tempting to turn the x-ray phone on a fellow train passenger but really it would be a curse I think?
June 27th, 2007 at 10:46 amOh–maybe you were not thinking so deep just now. Yes turn the magic phone on the wrong girl and maybe wished you hadn’t have… Not to mention if it accidentally goes off on all the guys on the train? You, as always, are right again–we are better off without such phone.
June 27th, 2007 at 10:49 amWell, for some blokes, seeing all the other guys wouldn’t be more than an ego stroke. Some of us, however, would go home and beat up our wives “You told me I wasn’t that undersized”
