| Today, NTT DoCoMo Inc., Japan's top wireless operator, unveiled the D800iDS, a mobile phone featuring a touch-sensitive screen, like the popular Nintendo DS portable game console, and another model that gives off a relaxing scent. The D800iDS by Mitsubishi Electric Corp., is a clamshell equipped with screens on the upper and lower halves. Users input characters by writing on the touch screen with their fingers or a stylus. They can also call up an on-screen keypad to dial a number or type a message, or touch the buttons shown on the display to browse the menu screens. The recently announced Apple Iphone is also a touch-screen. NTT DoCoMo unveiled nine other mobile phones today, which includes a model by Sony Ericsson that features a 3-inch Bravia flat-panel screen. |
