Miscellaneous CEATEC 2005 snippets

Here’s some fuel cell powered prototypes (Gigabeat and 2 other flash-based PMPs) that look pretty slick and will most likely cost a ton of bling if you want to purchase one. The Neosol CP-3550 takes its styling cues from the defunct Atari Lynx while the music phone dubbed the “Music Porter X” supports ATRAC3/ATRAC3plus/MP3/AAC formats. Design-wise, it looks a little dodgy with buttons and switches seemingly thrown about at random. Heck, there’s even an FM tuner inside – is this a phone that can play MP3s or an MP3 player that can make calls?
