    Last month, outdoorsy types in the states were treated to the G'zOne Commando, and now the Japanese market is about to get a macho Casio-made, Android-powered handset of its own. KDDI just launched the G'zOne IS11CA on its network, along with the Toshiba Regza Phone IS11T and the Xperia acro IS11S -- all of 'em Gingerbread-powered (sigh). The G'zOne IS11CA's design is similar -- but not identical -- to the Commando's, complete with rubberized bumpers, a 3.6-inch (480 x 800) display, and compliance with the US military's 801G specifications for dust, shock, and immersion in water. Meanwhile, the Regza IS11T is a 4-inch (854 x 480) slider boasting full QWERTY keyboard, 8 megapixel camera, GPS, TV tuner, and DLNA support. And lastly, the Xperia arco IS11S is a slab with a 4.2-inch (480 x 854) display, available in three colors. No word yet on pricing, though we know the G'zOne IS11CA and the Xperia arco are coming in late June, while the Regza Phone is slated to go on sale in September.

    While we've certainly seen our fair share of LCD TV-equipped mirrors before, DND Casa is apparently aiming to raise the bar once more by stuffing a full-fledged PC into the mix. Reportedly, the firm is marketing its new ARCO mirror to high-end households in Korea, and while details regarding the specs and technology behind the glass are scarce, we do know that the "Mirror Image" magic from Ad-Notam is incorporated. Of course, we fully expect the videophiles in the crowd to scoff mightily at such a bizarre attempt at consolidation, but for those interested in a few more snapshots, feel free to click on through and take a peek.[Via AVing]
