Kyocera is a multi-billion dollar company known in the US primarily for making tiny, noisy-cricket like phones and solar cells – but that’s about to change, with the Kyocera Echo.
At least, that’s what Kyocera is hoping for. Sprint Nextel is having the pants kicked off of it by AT&T and Verizon — the two most popular networks in the US; even though AT&T’s network is so bad, it might actually be better if everyone hooked up Pepsi cans to pieces of yarn and yelled at the top of their lungs between buildings. Then your calls wouldn’t get dropped quicker than a clingy bachelorette at a bar. But Kyocera is banking that the next innovation in phone technology is going to be not one, but TWO touchscreens. Just throw another touchscreen in there, bra. We can’t have enough touchscreens. If you can make a smaller touchscreen just to access the other touchscreens, and that password can only be accessed through touching, that may be enough to placate people.
Kyocera is launching the Echo – a phone with two 3.5 inch screens that can be used in tandem to watch videos on the internet or play videogames, or whatever you do with seven inches of screen. More importantly – the event that it was launched at featured David Blaine. You can just imagine him talking through his clenched mouth.
“Do you love your phone? Yeah? But what if your phone knew….magic?”
