When you think of “music on the go” you most likely think of an iPod or another portable music and video player. But what if you’re the type of person who likes to make music, especially electronic music? It’s pretty difficult to cart around all your synthesizers and equipment just for the time when you feel the need to make some music. From the unlikely source of Think Geek you can find the Kaossilator Touchpad Synthesizer. What looks like an innocent pocket-sized touchpad with a few buttons and a dial is really quite a complex and robust musical creation tool.

Motorola are looking to separate their mobile phone division from the rest of the company in what some are seeing as the prelude to offloading the division altogether. According to the company’s press release, Motorola are “…exploring the structural and strategic realignment of its businesses to better equip its Mobile Devices business to recapture global market leadership and to enhance shareholder value. The company’s alternatives may include the separation of Mobile Devices from its other businesses in order to permit each business to grow and better serve its customers.”
Obviously this doesn’t mean the Mobile Devices division is for sale yet, but by separating it from the rest of the company, it makes selling it a whole lot easier.
To be honest, this really comes as no surprise.

Hitachi have announced the new Hitachi W61H clamshell phone, the main claim to fame of which is a body that can display 95 different patterns on the back at the touch of a button. Similar in concept to Nokia’s old xPress On covers, where you could snap on a new cover to customize your phone, Hitachi’s new design, called “Silhouette Screen” is a little more sophisticated. Rather than using physical bits of plastic that have to snapped on and snapped off, the W61H uses e-Ink technology, similar to that used in e-Book readers such Amazon’s Kindle. The whole back of the phone therefore acts as a separate display, but rather than displaying info, it simply displays a pattern. More details after the jump.
