The first mention of the Sharp's Sidekick 4 (a.k.a. Shuriken) dates back to August 2007.

Earlier this month at CES 2008 it has finally been presented as a new PDA, the Sharp PV250. The device has a swiveling display, which can be viewed in different angles, a QWERTY keyboard, a 1.3Mpix camera, and a microSD slot.

Sharp W61SH is a new handset equipped with Sharp AQUOS branded LCD display.

The screen measures 2.8" and has a 2000:1 contrast ratio. The phone will be available in Black, White, and Hot Pink colors only in Japan through KDDI.

For those living in the U.

Sharp has introduced its latest cell phone in Japan called the AQUOS 822SH.

It will be available on December 15 in a choice of 5 different colors, including sliver, white, gold, black and pink.

Sharp has developed the world's thinnest LCD display for mobile devices, called Mobile Advanced Super View LCD.

The panel measures 2.2" (240 x 320) diagonal at a mere 0.68mm thick. Despite its thickness the new display has pretty impressive characteristics providing outstanding image quality thanks to a high contrast ratio of 2000:1, viewing angle of 176 degrees, and response speed of 8 ms, which are among the highest levels in the industry.

Sharp SH-920 Aquos is a new cell phone that uses the same LCD technology found in the range of Sharp Aquos LCD TVs.

The phone's large 3.2" display has a resolution of 480 x 854 px, contrast ratio of 2000:1, and support for up to 26 million colors. Furthermore, thanks to the integrated 1Seg tuner the SH-920 allows users to watch movies and TV programs in widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio.

Sharp has introduced its new PDA phone, the so called Advanced/W-Zero3.

The handset, when closed, looks like an ordinary candy bar cell phone, but when you open it, it reveals a QWERTY keyboard and a large 3" WVGA (800x480) screen.

Other features include Windows Mobile 6 OS, Wi-Fi connectivity, Web browser, Microsoft Office Mobile and the ability to read business cards via the in-built 1.

T-Mobile has just announced two Sidekick phones, the LX and Slide.

Both are quad-band GSM/EDGE handsets with Bluetooth connectivity, microSD slot (4GB max), 1.3Mpix cameras, and the new mobile MySpace application.

The LX, manufactured by Sharp, is a successor to the Sidekick 3 featuring a 3" WQVGA screen, 128MB microSD card and camera flash.

At the recent IFA 2007 show in Berlin Sharp has presented a device which looks very similar to those from the Sidekick family.

In fact, it may actually be the long-awaited Sidekick 4!

There was no official announcement from the company yet, so for now we can only guess.

Apparently, Sharp plans to release a new handset in Germany through Vodafone.

The phone is called Sharp 880SH, a 3G slider supporting HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS networks, which means that users will be able watch hi-res QVGA video streams directly on the handset. Other features include a 2.2" QVGA LCD display, 2Mpix photo/video camera, a media player, of course, and FM receiver for more entertainment.
