Available soon, Japan’s latest wacky robot
Cripes.
For those who feel a bit lonely just talking on the phone, a Japanese company is offering a cellphone that turns into a robot buddy ready to chat.
Softbank Mobile Corp.’s new mobile line looks like a small humanoid with attachable arms and legs, with the screen showing various faces.
The PhoneBraver will be released in April - named after a character in an upcoming television drama series entitled “Cellphone Investigator 7…”
“We haven’t decided on specifics yet on the communication between the user and mobile, but your mobile would grow into a buddy different from others that is unique in the world,” said Softbank Mobile spokesman Katsuhide Furuya.
Just what we need.
