Dharma-Burger! The “Buddha-Phone”
This might just be an example of an okay Dharma-Burger. We’ll have to see… Via CNET.uk:
MP3 playback? Check. Two cameras? Check. Built-in mobile Buddhist altar? Che… Wait, WTF?!
You read correctly. The Odin 99 has landed on the streets of Japan, and a single tap of the phone‘s dedicated lotus-leaf button will load a private, customisable, animated altar.
The idea is to allow Buddhists to perform their dedications and rituals conveniently when away from home. You can simulate incense burning, purification rites and play music to help you meditate wherever you happen to be.

While I’m not much for rituals, it still sounds interesting to play around with. I wouldn’t take it too seriously, though.
