Drawing inspiration from old science fiction movies, South Korean designer Ungnoh Yoon has come up with a unique mobile phone dubbed “Matrix phone 02” that blends conventional design with contemporary technology. When the cellphone is closed, it looks like an old fashioned beeper or mobile device, but as soon as you slide the upper side, the Graphen display, one of the next gen technologies, pops up to change the mobile phone into a futuristic device. Featuring a compact size, the old futuristic phone just measures 140 (opened) and 90 (closed) x 50 x 15 mm (HWD). When closed, the Matrix phone shows a green OLED light to indicate simple and basic information like time, caller ID, quick dial info and so on, while on the other hand, when opened, the Graphen screen displays all the other information.

Some people are ridiculously jobless and extremely foolish. And there are others who likes to act normal but are dangerously ill. Like this dude. He has come up with an idea. It is an iPhone concept called iDrops. It is using new nano technology to control your iPhone with the blink of an eye – that’s what the ad says. It shows a person putting some drops on to the eye and then the iPhone is in your eye. I know! It makes no sense! Hilarious! Even J K Rowling had a better imagination with her wizards.

admin — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 19:51:07 +0000

Esato board user razec has surpassed himself yet again and you are certainly familiar with the XPERIA Candela concept phone. Well, now it has been finalized, so you can check it out below and there’s an impressive specs list to have a look at, as well.

Razec’s splendid XPERIA Candela concept packs a capacitive touchscreen display, a 12 megapixel CCD camera with 720p HD video capture and the ability to record videos at 300 FPS. This handset also comes with BRAVIA technology, since it’s the first phone to incorporate a RGB LED display taken directly from the BRAVIA TVs.

This screen sports a 1,000,000: 1 contrast ratio and a 852 x 480 pixels resolution @ 16:9. Android 2.0 OS runs the show on the device, in its fully customized version and in case you’re wondering, there’s no physical keyboard on this device, but rather a virtual one, thanks to another capacitive display.

Said secondary capacitive display will play the role of a keyboard, jotter, music player buttons and a virtual game pad. It also comes with handwriting recognition, a math calculator and a magnetic stylus. Sony Ericsson XPERIA Candela even supports Photoshop, thanks to an AMD Z430 graphics core, while gaming is handled with the aid of a Snapdragon processor, that supports 22M T/sec and 136M Pix/s, for a PlayStation-like experience.

As if these specs weren’t enough, the list is completed by a magnesium arc slider design, HSUPA 2100 MHz/ WiMAX 802.16e connectivity, a Jukebox mode, 384MB DDR SDRAM, 512MB ROM, 16/32GB internal memory and a 1500 mAh Lithium Polymer battery. I am officially in love with this phone and frankly it’s hard to believe that we’ll see a more attractive XPERIA concept in 2009.

Nokia CORE Phone – Computer Mouse

admin — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:37:16 +0000

The Nokia CORE cellphone is a concept inspired by the futurism graphics of Star Wars. Designed around its interface, which resembles a solar system where all functions revolve around the core, the shape of the phone is derived from the interface core and is expanded around it. Developed under the ease of usage concept, thus it is made with a soft touch filled concavity on each side so it can be easily grabbed and used. For the unique functionality the phone when put facing down on a surface, automatically transfers the interface and content to the screen of the nearest computer via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Having done this, the phone then acts as a mouse-like device to control its own interface on the computer screen.

The user can drag and drop everything from and to the phone screen mounted on the computer using the same phone as a mouse. The mouse buttons as well as the camera lens are hidden on the black graphics on the phone’s reverse side. Because the phone’s screen is made from OLEDs covered in anti scratch polycarbonate, it never suffers a scratch, not even in that screen down position.
