Japan's transparent touchscreen phone prototype that never went into production.
Shame we never got to see any phones using this tech. Wonder what kinda mobile games could have used the front/back touchscreen?

Miss Rachel, Bob Marley and the 150 year old melody
I’ve been losing my mind trying to figure out why a specific part of Miss Rachel’s "Baby Put Your Pants On" sounded like a reggae track. Finally connected the dots.
From "Short’nin’ Bread," an old oral folk melody created by African Americans in the south around the 1880s. That specific section gets recycled a lot.
- 1880ish: Short’nin’ Bread
- 1968: The Banana Splits Theme
- 1978: Bob Marley - Buffalo Soldier
- 2009: Jamie T - Chaka Demus (JUST found this one)

The car with surface that's entirely touchscreen. Concept from 2011
The Toyota Fun Vii "Smartphone Car" concept. The paint job is entirely touchscreen panels so user would be able to customize its exterior like a smartphone wallpaper.
