You read that right. A Disney-branded phone is actually coming out in Japan and it will have a stereoscopic display. We totally don't understand how the Japanese name their phones, but it sounds like it's going to be the Disney Mobile DM009SH.
Based on the Sharp Galapagos 003SH, the new handset will get the same hardware as the original 3D Android smartphone. If you're not familiar with that device, it sports a 3.8-inch stereoscopic touchscreen, which can display 3D images without requiring any special glasses.
Aside from the special screen, other details of the Disney Mobile DM009SH include a 9.6 megapixel camera module, WiFi, aGPS, Bluetooth, a TV tuner and e-wallet function (Japan-only). No word on the Android version included, but action will be controlled by a 1GHz Snapdragon processor.
Being Disney-branded, it's naturally brimming with the entertainment company's content. Buyers get a unique @disney.ne.jp mail address, apart from a smattering of Disney-themed wallpapers, icons and media files. Most of the UI is drenched in Disney, too, with special clocks, schedulers, calendars, widgets and even full-fledged apps. They're even going so far as to set up a "Disney Market" where special Disney-themed apps can be downloaded.
The Disney Mobile DM009SH is slated for availability in Japan beginning next month. No word on pricing.
