Robot Phone: Sharp Introduces Robohon, World's First Robot Smartphone (VIDEO)

Sharp might just have scored a coup in the mobile phone industry. This is true, at least, in the area of innovation. Last Tuesday it launched the world debut of its Robohon, a smartphone that thinks it is a robot or a robot that acts as your mobile device.

Robohon, which will roll out in Japan next year, has smartphone features such as call functionality, email, Internet connectivity and a camera. In addition, it also serves as a personal assistant capable of taking notes, calendar events, announcing notifications and a host of other things that Siri and Google Now can do. It is also powered by Android and sports a 2-inch touchscreen display, the Wall Street Journal reported.
