Hitachi's 720p Mobile Hi-Vision Cam Wooo gets hands-on treatment

It may be a Japan exclusive for now, but Hitachi's Mobile Hi-Vision Cam Wooo has folks drooling from sea to shining sea. The cats over at Akihabara News were able to take a glimpse while KDDI unveiled its summer lineup, and they seemed to be quite impressed with the video quality and ease of use. Check the read link for a video of the flip phone in action, but remember, don't get too attached unless you call Japan home.

Well this is cool, if not convergence overkill.

mmm... I call Japan home but I think I'll stick to carrying my new Canon SD960 IS. 720 is not top notch (compare with my HV20) but it's 100x more portable.

Now its my old fat ass 5mp sharp cellphone I should replace. No more *mp phones for me, I'll stick too ultra-slim models in the future.

Sticky sticky!

My phone looked like something from Victorian.
