Forget iPhone for the timebeing, yeah it’s cool and all… but let’s turn the Apple dial away to look at this new phone gadget from the Japanese.  In a nutshell, this phone is a good work-out companion.  Not only can it count the calories you burn at the gym, it also acts as a pedometer… recording every step you make.  Show it to the gym instructor and make him proud.  10,000+ steps a day wins you a gatorade… less than that and you’d surely get a scolding! haha.

This phone is able to suggest a jog-path for you through GPRS.  Available in black, white, orange, mint green & red.  It flashes a 2 Mega pixel camera and a 1Seg TV tuner.  Ah, the wonders of technology!

I think this phone is a great idea but needs a few consumer polishing to make it as attractive and useful to the gym people.  Like an MP3 player perhaps?
