KDDI’s Infobar Interface Available To Try in Web Simulator

iida-infobar

With one of the most unique Android interfaces to date, KDDI’s iida Infobar handset is a pretty attractive smartphone option in Japan. While the body design doesn’t impress me too much, the gorgeous user interface is the feature that’s getting a whole lot of attention. And now KDDI has a web simulator that allows anyone to give it a test drive, whether you’re in Japan or not.

Designed by master web designer Yugo Nakamura, the Infobar’s tiled interface is very slick — although many have pointed out the resemblance to Windows Phone’s new look.

Drop over to the iiDa UI Virtual Touch simulator if you’d like to try the interface for yourself. I should point out that the simulator is made with Flash, so if you’re hoping to try it from an iPhone or iPad, you’re out of luck.

Alternatively Diginfo news has a good video report that includes a demo of the phone as well as an explanation of the features.
