The concept phone here is designed by Tryi Yeh and it’s called the Magnet Liteon Phone. As you can see it’s made out of two parts which are held together by a magnet. Other features include solar panel cells for getting all that required energy and an impressive OLED screen. The screen can be positioned as you like in order to take advantage of the multiple features of the phone. Simply detach it and reattach at as you see fit. Just don’t forget it anywhere!

The Magnet Liteon Phone is just a concept for now and it might never find its way to consumers but some of the ideas here could definitely be used in the cell phones of the future.

Now just because this phone has a full QWERTY keyboard, don’t expect it to be able to do things like the Propel Pro or iPhone; this phone is strictly marketed towards teens who need a full keyboard for text messaging.

Anyways, what you see above is the Samsung Magnet. Details are scarce but the press release says that it will have a WAP enabled browser, integrated camera, all bundled in a “sleek package”.

Check back in the next few weeks as more information regarding the Samsung Magnet creeps out.

After the announcement of the Logitech Pure-Fi Dream bedroom music system for the iPod comes another announcement from Logitech: the new Pure-Fi Anywhere music system, another accessory featuring compact speakers in a portable form factor. The Pure-Fi Anywhere speakers come with a rechargeable battery and a helpful battery indicator. Now with an improved traveling case and redesigned remote control, Logitech claims a 10-hour life on a fully charged battery.

When the iPod is connected to the Universal Dock connector, the Pure-Fi Anywhere continues to play music while charging the iPod battery. The new travel case holds the speakers, a power adapter and the remote. There’s also space for an iPod nano, if you like. The power adapter has also undergone a redesign, and fits snugly into the iPod dock.

Measuring 3.6″ x 13.2″ x 1.5″, it weighs in at just 1.6 pounds, but still manages to deliver quality music through the 2-inch Max-X high excursion drivers with neodymium magnets. To minimize distortion, there’s also 3-inch pressure drivers.

The Logitech Pure-Fi Anywhere portable speaker system for the iPod will hit the stores in the US and Europe beginning September, and carries a price tag of US $149.99.
