CEATEC JAPAN 2004 convention taking place in Tokyo's Makuhari Messe. This includes coverage of Japanese girls with obnoxiously large, red, curly 'fros. Enough pictures stolen from Impress Watch to sink three ships after the jump. We are, after all, "visual learners." 
It looks like it could up and fly away, but that's a 3G phone concept model from Sanyo. It features a double-hinge design, as well as 3D display. Though the main highlight here is obviously the bizarro design, another feature is wireless LAN support.

@axxxr - A fone with 3 folds  A very 1st of it's kind ! Looks like that will be very difficult to use, unless if the ears are detachable  ! |

Yes it does seem to have 3 folds which seems a bit weird,but those fold could be reversable or even detachable,But we are only making asumptions at the moment.I Will try to get more details on this handset!..But do remember its is a concept design and as you may well know a lot of phone concept designs are quite wacky!

A lot of fresh gadgets at the CEATEC 2004 trade show in Tokyo, but our fave is this shiny red robot which looks a lot like JVC’s answer to Sony’s bipedal QRIO. Best part: the J4, as it’s called, is controlled via Bluetooth.

Mitsubishi had on display what they are calling a "reversible LCD." Although the system was announced back in February of this year, this is the first of I've heard of it since then. According to "Heartbeat Motors," making the technology practical is soon to be done; but plans for commercialization still aren't finalized.
So what does this do? As you can see in the above pic (compliments of Impress Watch), there is indeed a different image in the mirror. While the display closest to the guy taking the picture shows the front of some character (I guess it's a cat?), the reflection in the mirror shows the back of the cat. At this point, you're probably thinking, "well what's so cool about that, my phone has an external display too." But that's just it; your phone has an internal display and external display. These are two separate screens, independent of one another.
But that's not how this technology works. It is, in fact, one LCD screen depicting two different images depending on which side you view it from. Things get technical from here on out, but to sum it up, you basically have two transparent backlights on either side of the LCD. When one backlight is turned on, an image can be seen on the LCD from the opposite side. Turn both backlights on, and the same image can be seen from both sides. Since this alone wouldn't create two different images on each side of the screen, Mitsubishi's technology involves swapping out the LCD's image 120 times per second. I hate math, but 120 / 2 (for two screens) would give you 60 frames per second on each. Not too shabby.

Fujitsu is showing their concept model which proposes the new design of smartphone depends on user needs.
3 types of smart phone / mobile phone are displayed during the show. The high end smartphones are all integrated a big display screen, full sized keyboard, external storage card slot and high megapixel camera. Multimedia functions like video playback, mp3 player, video recording are a must for gadget freak. High end version is more applications rich compare to other standard mobile phone.
