Cast your minds back to January and the Leyio.
It promised file sharing by the shake of your wrist via UWB (ultra-wideband) radio connectivity with a 3MB pic blasting across in just 0.3 seconds.
The Leyio is coming to the UK in April with an unfortunate price of £159 for the 16GB device.
The device has a fingerprint scanner so only you can shake those files over.
Searching the memory is easy as the Leyio had an oLED screen.
I was quite taken with the idea and potential of the Leyio – trouble is, to use this as it’s meant to be you need a buddy with £159 who will also buy one.
What’s the point in a £159 pocket drive if you’re just going to use the USB?

Take no phones into the shower?
How about this little folder?
No need to miss that call – just grab the Fujitsu Japan the F-01A and a loofah!
The F-01A is apparently the world’s first mobile phone that’s waterproof – and also has a fingerprint biometric security thingy.
In Nippon, it’s part of the line-up of NTT DoCoMo, the country’s biggest telecommunications company.
The fingerprint technology is developed by AuthenTec, a provider of fingerprint sensors and solutions.
The Symbian-based F-01A comes with a 3.2-inch VGA touchscreen display, a 5.2-Mpixel camera with autofocus, GPS with Google Street View images, a One-Seg digital TV tuner, an e-wallet function and microSDTM／microSDH slots.
Forget showers – you can apparently take this thing underwater for about 30 minutes up to 1 meter deep.
The Fujitsu phone is already on sale in Japan where it’s available as part of DoCoMo’s PRIME series since November last year.
But AuthenTec has only just made the collaboration with Fujitsu official.
