Tokyoflash Waterproof MP3 Juke Tower – Water Music

by Jay Garrett on February 13, 2009

juke-towerTokyoflash.  A name usually associated with confusing watches have moved the goal-posts and have come up with the Water Proof MP3 playing Juke Tower.

Perhaps inspired by the Japanese love of Karaoke mixed with ruining singing along with tunes in the shower.

It stands 18.3cm tall by 7.8cm wide and is available in black or white.

Obviously built with the bathroom in mind it’s powered by 3 x AA batteries and should give around 12 hours of sing-a-long-withness – Ooo….it also houses a red LED clock (well, it had to contain a time-piece didn’t it?) just in case you’re timing your hair dye. 

So far, so good.

But then there’s the odd thing.  The Water-proof MP3 Juke Tower has no internal memory.

Nope – none!

You have to shove in your own USB device to get your groove on.

So? – you may ask.

Well, generally your USB stick wont be as waterproof as the Tower.

Ok, so USB keys are getting cheaper everyday but is that the point?

The port itself is tucked away beneath the case so I’m guessing it’s fairly safe.

The Tokyoflash Water-proof MP3 Juke Tower costs around £99 and is available now to be shipped to the UK.

Fujitsu F-01A Waterproof Fingerprint Secure Mobile Phone

by Jay Garrett on January 20, 2009

fujitsu-f-01aTake 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.
