The SE Kurara will also get 256MB RAM, a figure that is a lot for a mobile phone. Apparently, the Kurara will be a much more powerful phone than the Satio and will work much faster. The Kurara will also be capable of recording and playback HD 720p video, which was early reflected by the HD label at its back. This handset is expected to launch in second half of February 2010 with a MSRP around $745.

The device does not take the video signal from the iPhone, what it does is only the analog way of projection. By sliding your iPhone into it, it can simply blow up the image on the iPhone screen onto a projection surface. This kind of projection will definitely not give you much brightness.

But the makers of HypnosEye claim you’ll be able to get an projected image size from 17 inch to 45 inch diagonally from a distance of half to 2 meters away. This should be good enough when you want to project what is on your phone and the setup should be much quicker than having to hook up an external projector to the iPhone.

The HypnosEye kit comes included with the projection lens and a portable 17-inch diagonal projection surface. It’s available at Japan Trend Shop and runs you about $80, a price that is much cheaper than any portable projectors in the market. Watch the device in action in the clip below.

The Fujitsu F-04B measures 11.4×5.1×20.4 cm and weights about 173g and it boasts impressively long standby and talk time, which are 600 hours and 330 minutes respectively.

This Fujitsu smart phone splits into two parts, which the first part contains most of the electronics and is where the 3.4-inch 480×960 touchscreen display is. The second part is the QWERTY and a slider device with numeric keypad. This obviously provides more space to grip and type on the QWERTY.

The two split pieces are able to connect to each other via Bluetooth and the Bluetooth capability allows them to stay apart up to 10 meters. And interestingly, you can make separate calls using the split pieces and each of them has their own built-in speaker and mic.

Other goodies include HSDPA, a 12.2 megapixel camera, a connector for a Felica smart card, which allows it to be used as an electronic purse payment. It’ll be available in Japan in March/April next year but no word for the pricing.

The Kurara should be announced in the first half of 2010. The Kurara is currently the internal code name, no official name has been given yet so it’d most likely be released under a different name next year.
