NTT DoCoMo Inc has come up with mobile home to home technology, MH2H, that would let you view the files stored on your PC on the television at your friend’s place. MH2H technology will enable you to display media files once it is connected to any medium, such as a mobile phone or camera, which has a wireless LAN function.
MH2H uses Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) technology which allows you to share files using a home network such as LAN. MH2H is the ‘new and improved’ version of the Pocket U service that NTT DoCoMo currently provides, where content stored on the system can be viewed on the mobile phone even while the user is not at home. In this case, the phone works similar to a virtual DLNA server and the IP address of the user’s PC would be sent to the phone which has been enabled with wireless LAN function to act as the digital media player for the DLNA. Using the mobile phone network, the phone would then connect to the PC and establish the correspondence.

Imagine pulling your phone apart and separately making use of the different functions available on it. Browse the internet at the same time that you are chatting away with your friends so you can tell them about a cool site you found while surfing. If you have often imagined having a magic phone that would allow you to do this, your dreams may possibly become true.
The Separate Keitai, a mobile phone from NTT DoCoMo Inc., has a key operation part that can be broken away from the display part so that the two parts can be used separately at the same time. Unfortunately, the Separate Keitai remains a prototype and, according to the company, a schedule for practical application has not been decided yet so the phone may never make it to the market. The two parts of the phone are joined by a magnet so it can be easily broken apart; these parts communicate via Bluetooth. The parts can also be connected horizontally, at which time the phone shows different images from that shown when the phone is connected vertically.
