The Casio W61CA is a waterproof foldable phone equipped with a 5.1 megapixel digital camera. The electronics company has merged its knowledge in digital cameras with a mobile Exilim engine with blur reduction using six-axis correction.

Being only available in Japan (why do the cool mobile phones have to be available only in Japan?), it has to keep up with the market by putting DMB-TV functions so users can watch television on their W61CA. Another “uniquely Japanese” feature is an animated story of “Adelie Penguin” that unfolds whenever the phone is on standby.

It also has an integrated timer, distance measurement, and calorie counter that make the phone an ideal walking (or running) partner. Other notable features include a 2.7-inch QVGA screen, a micro-SD card slot, voice input, Office document viewer, navigation, and dictionary.

The Casio W61CA comes in four colors: green, gold, white, and yellow.

After Sharp was able to integrate its TV technology into their mobile phones, Japanese electronics brand Panasonic is beginning to follow suit with the release of the VIERA 920P, which is available for Softbank mobile subscribers.

The VIERA 920P, named after Panasonic’s line of LCDs and plasma displays, features a large three-inch-wide VGA resolution screen. Its wide-screen format makes it appear like a mini-HDTV, and the phone can be folded two ways to take advantage of such an amazing feature.

It also has a 5.1 megapixel camera with auto focus (as well as a second VGA camera), Bluetooth support, and DMB-TV functions. Users can e-mail, browse through the Internet, and switch between GSM and W-CDMA. This phone is an energy saver, with up to 580-hour stand-by time, and 220-minute talktime.

The Panasonic VIERA TV Phone measures at 106×49×18 millimeters and is available in 5 colors: gold, white, black, light blue, and pink. Date of release is unsure however, as with most Mobile TV phones, it would only be available in Japan.

Samsung unveiled a compact handset in Japan that specifically targets the female market. The Samsung 821SC is slim at 17 millimeters with a 2.4-inch OLED display and a 1.96 megapixel camera. The mobile phone is available in a variety of “girl-friendly” colors like pink, silver, purple, and red. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity and up to 20 hours of TV-quality video recording.

The 821SC has a simple yet good design, with some people claiming that it looks like an Nintendo DS Lite. However, the camera could have been a bit bigger, especially if Samsung intends to sell phones for females who love to take pictures of themselves.

What other features this phone has are yet to be seen, but so far it looks promising. The Samsung 821SC is expected to be released after March 2008.

Google has joined the field of mobile Web mail with the release of Gmail for mobile devices. You can now access your Gmail account on your mobile. Just download the Gmail mobile Java file at www.gmail.com/app, install the application on your supported device, and you can now retrieve your Gmail inbox with just a push of a button.Google claims that using the mobile version loads up to five times faster than when accessing Gmail using your phone’s browser. This is because Google optimized the interface of the Gmail application depending on the mobile device used.

Once you start up the application on your mobile, you only need to enter your username and password on the welcome screen and in seconds, your emails start coming in. Browsing through emails is also more efficient, providing less clicks and scrolls than most mobile browser would normally make use of. There is a Menu button which allows you to easily reply, forward, compose mail, search mail, mark mail unread, view details, and conveniently report spam.

You don’t have to worry about mixing up your Gmail account, as it remains synchronized whether you’ll be accessing it from a PC or a mobile phone. For example, if you send an email using a mobile phone, you can also view it at the Sent Items folder on your PC.

Another nifty feature of the Gmail mobile application is that it can open attachments in your email. These include images, word documents, and PDF files. What’s great is that you don’t need a compatible reader installed in your mobile phone to view these files. With sufficient phone memory, Gmail can automatically convert these into a format that suits your mobile. If you have contact numbers on your Gmail Contacts list, you can also reply to their messages by giving a call.

Google’s Gmail for mobile devices is a great application, allowing its users to access their mails and get information, anytime and anywhere. Like the desktop Gmail, the mobile version is also free of charge. But don’t forget to consider charges from your wireless service provider.
