There’s a new phone on sale in Japan this Friday, and its manufacturer (au KDDI) has dubbed it as the ‘Media Skin’. Not only is ‘Media Skin’ the finest name for a phone since ‘Talby’ — eliciting mental images of tabloid crotch shots while at the same time sounding somehow classy — it also represents the latest release in KDDI’s ever-fruitful ‘au design project’. The handset is the work of Tokujin Yoshioka Design: it’s available in seven flavours (colours), and has all the specs you’d expect from a 3G phone (microSD support, decent-res camera, PC site browser, et cetera). Far more importantly for its target users, though, it will turn heads.
