Explay Crystal Brings Back Transparent Phone Fad

Russia-based electronics manufacturer Explay rolls out with its first mobile phone that comes with a transparent color display. The Explay Crystal may not be the first of its kind on the market–with the likes of KDDI X-Ray, Xperia Pureness, and Lenovo S800 came and gone–it certainly has something that would make Russians take a second look: a 7,000 ruble (US$219) price tag, much cheaper than similar phones. The keypad-wielding feature phone is armed with dual-SIM compatibility, media player functions, Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP support, and a rear camera with video recording capability.

Judge denies that woman can be held accountable for her “electronic presence” in texting-while-driving accident

Last week we reported that a woman was currently being sued as being responsible in a texting-while-driving car accident involving a motorbike. It does sound pretty straightforward but in case you might have missed our coverage, here's the kicker – the woman was not the one behind the wheel, but rather she was the one sending the text messages to the person behind the wheel (her boyfriend). According to the victims' lawyer, she is just as guilty since her messages were apparently written in such a way that it required a response.
