I don't really know why it's shaped like a pyramid, but then again...why not?
I think the world could use more electronics shaped like pyramids. They're not exactly the most space efficient structures ever created, but who cares?
This pyramid records video to SD/mini-SD cards for playback o­n cellular phones.

Solid Alliance Limited will release the "Keitai de Video (Video with Cellular Phone)," a device that connects to TV/video devices and records video to SD cards, at the end of June o­n their o­nline store. The price should be around 20,000 yen.

This was developed in cooperation with Mitsubishi Resin, Media Link, and Connect Technologies. It is a video recorder for SD/mini-SD cards. The feature is, of course, the pyramid shape - it's actually a 1/2,000 size model of Kufu's pyramid. A SD card slot is featured o­n the top section. It also supports miniSD cards with the use of an adapter.

It is connected to a TV/video device, and with o­nly the push of the "record" button, will record TV programs to the SD card. Recording in the 3GPP supporting MPEG-4 format is supported, with a maximum bitrate of 128kbps. The input ports are composite video and analog audio. It can also recognize input signals from video recording devices with a time, meaning that it can record "on queue" from these devices.

Supported cellular phones are, from NTT DoCoMo, the N900i, F900i, SH900i, P900i, P2102V, F2102V, N505iS, and the F505i...from Vodafone, the J-SH53, and the V601SH, making 10 types all together. The external dimensions are 115 x 115 x 73mm (W x D x H).
