Guys,
have anyone considered this article as an April fool day joke? (one day belated but still.. )
Below I placed a link to another weird story, but I think it belongs to the same category (jokes, that is.. although, being the employee of japanese company, and knowing something of an attidude of Japanese public towards gadgets, I would not be surprised if this is actually a real thing))
