Meanwhile, the Aquos K is a pretty stylish flip phone with some impressive specs. It sports a 3.4-inch LCD display, a 1410mAh battery, a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, a 13-megapixel rear camera and a waterproof design. It comes in black, white and red variants.
Sharp hasn’t revealed pricing or availability for the new phones, though for now it looks like both devices could be limited to Japan. We’d love to see the Aquos mini arrive in the U.S., where it could be a real mid-range contender depending on how much Sharp plans to charge.

An Internet of Treacherous Things
A zombie network of home routers highlights the importance of prioritizing smart appliance security.

Why It Matters
Within five years there may be 50 billion smart devices in homes and offices.
Plenty of science-fiction stories feature ordinary household appliances staging a revolt. In an episode of Futurama, toasters and home robots rise up against their human oppressors. Two trends are now starting to make such scenarios seem less far-fetched.
One is the wave of Internet of things devices being developed for homes—on full display at the CES trade show last week. The other is the increased hacking of home networking gear—as demonstrated by a zombie horde of home network routers discovered recently.
