It’s a robot! It’s a phone! It’s the KDDI’s iida Polaris!

So this caught my attention today because, quite frankly, I’ve hungering for a new phone and refuse the iPhone trend.  Not for any particular reason, other than just to satisfy my ego.  I am also highly dissatisfied with the selection of phones Verizon has to offer, but unfortunately I am stuck with this provider until I can fend for my own phone contract.  But anyway, back to news!

KDDI's iida Polaris

This little baby the iida Polaris.  It’s a small touchscreen cell phone that sits inside a little robotic ball.  What makes this little guy so special is that it is supposed to help you maintain a healthy life by keeping records of your diet, activity, etc.  Don’t really have too much information on it, other than that, but here’s a pretty neat video of it in action!
