The Love Connection mobile phone was inspired by the relationship between male and female (you might have to use your imagination here) and, according to the designer Joongho Choi, each part of the phone symbolizes a gender.
Love Connection turns into a complete entertainment system including an MP3 player and a camera. When the two components are slit apart, one becomes a mobile phone while the other becomes an MP3 player and the information can be transferred to another mobile phone.
