Toshiba's Next Big Thing
February 29, 2008

No, it's not a Blu-ray player...as of yet. But it's a wonderfully weird cell phone. It definitely at least looks cooler than a HD DVD player, right? Toshiba has dubbed it the Transformer phone (is that some, 'Hey, thanks for trying, Paramount!' reference??), and is designed essentially how you're thinking. Closed up, the phone looks like a phone. When you open it up to use, it morphs into a super cute robot machine with dangly arms and legs. At the moment, Transformer phone appears to be only available in Japan. But maybe the HD DVD fans can re-direct their support and get this product available in the U.S.
