Mobile phones to turn into golf clubs and toy guns in Japan
Following South Korea's Pantech launch of what was advertised as the world's first motion-recognition mobile phone, now subway commuters could get more energetic in Japan through a new motion-sensitive mobile telephone equipped with games that will let people on the move practise their golf swings or shoot up monsters, reports the AFP. "The local branch of British mobile giant Vodafone on Monday unveiled the V603SH, billed as the first phone in Japan to respond to movements, which will let users perform basic mobile functions through programmed shakes and jerks. The handset can be used as a golf club. Users look back at the screen to see how well they putted." The V603SH also lets users watch television on a liquid crystal display screen that can rotate 180 degrees. Related article: -- Cell phone gaming: Shake the Phone .
