Nokia Gem is one weird looking concept phone

Edwin Kee — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:08:49 +0000

There is just this thing about concepts – you need not worry about all sorts of physical and engineering problems, leave those to your R&D department once the management okays your concept. After all, isn’t your imagination the limit? That is the same impression I got when I first laid my eyes on the Nokia [...]

Nokia Kinetic phone previewed at Nokia World 2011

Edwin Kee — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 11:15:43 +0000

I know, I know, Nokia World 2011 has already concluded – but that does not mean that we have covered all fronts of the event. There is this bit about the future that somehow slipped past our radar – and we’re talking about the Nokia Kinetic phone (which we talked about in the past). Now, [...]

Morpho DJ system puts the iPhone on a turntable

Mark Rollins — Sun, 15 May 2011 23:32:17 +0000

We have covered a lot of interesting Apps that help DJs, like the Tap DJ App and the PocketLoops. Now there is this Nicholas J. Bryan’s Morpho DJ. You can watch the video here, and it is pretty amazing to see an iPhone put on a turntable and then scratched and used as if it [...]

Give your iPad a decent keyboard with iKeyboard

Mark Rollins — Fri, 13 May 2011 05:13:30 +0000

Someone of you might have an iPad, and you might make good use of that keyboard feature. I have to admit, it certainly is better than a tiny keyboard on a cellular phone. Still, there are some limitations. For example, the screen is all flat, and sometimes it is hard to tell whether or not [...]

Feno is a Foldable Notebook

Mark Rollins — Tue, 03 May 2011 18:00:25 +0000

It would appear that there are many laptop hybrids going around like the Samsung Series 7, this is one is another hybrid or concept laptop known as “Feno” that shows a lot of promise. The Feno is the design of Niels van Hoof, and it is interesting how it folds up like a tablet. Of [...]

This nose lets you interact with your touchscreen

Mark Rollins — Sun, 01 May 2011 21:37:58 +0000

I think someone might be thinking that today is April 1st rather than May 1st, because I don’t see this device being anything but a joke. I suppose it isn’t any crazier than using sausages for fingers on your touchscreen, or the iPhone Stylus Sausage. The only difference is that you can use your other [...]

Nokia to make a ring that controls a cell phone?

Mark Rollins — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 22:16:16 +0000

Apparently, when Nokia isn’t doing Symbian events or E6 or X7 Symbian smartphones, they are doing concept things like this Nenya ring. The Nenya allows the user to control a phone by twisting a finger. Apparently, all that is required is a magnet within a ring, and as the orientation changes, so will the analog [...]

Concept Lifebook X2 from Fujitsu

Mark Rollins — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 21:54:48 +0000

We have seen a lot of interesting Lifebooks come out of Fujitsu before, like the LifeBook AH530 GFX and the TH700 Lifebook. The Lifebook X2 is only a concept from the big company, at least for now. What makes the X2 stand apart from other Lifebooks, as well as other products, is that it has [...]

This Smart Bookrest Docking System could be the future of ebooks

Mark Rollins — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 18:06:01 +0000

Considering that we have seen no end of e-readers since before the Kindle, one has to wonder what sort of age are we looking at as far as e-reading goes. I think we are a long way from traditional books being a thing of the past, but I see this Smart Bookrest Docking System as [...]

Triple Flip phone concept

Edwin Kee — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 13:19:44 +0000

Don’t you just love concepts? After all, they force engineers of today (some would say challenge since it isn’t that strong a word) to work even harder to overcome various problems in order to give birth to a concept. Well, some concepts will take many, many more years to materialize, but some might come sooner [...]
