admin — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 12:05:42 +0000

Glocke is a unique cradle for an MP3 player and is inspired by the Korean Buddhist Bell. The bell works on the principle of resonance and amplifies sound, spreading its outreach. So when you dock the MP3 player on this device, it amplifies the low sound using the glass cylinder and glossy plastic body to full effect. The LED lamps are cute and glow according to the volume of the music…simply magnificent!

Women have a special affection for things which are dainty and sleek. Unlike men, they even want their gadgets to have a reflection of their sophisticated personality. Wilson Nino has worked on this trait and designed an MP3, named the “Sony Ericsson Leia,” which looks quite supple and can be twisted and turned as per one’s whims and fancies.

Leia also has a Bluetooth mode (gets activated when bent in L-shape), which lets the user exchange music files with minimum fuss. The music player sans the chaotic wires, thanks to the Bluetooth headphones that won’t create any mess.

The Genie concept distills the idea of an MP3 player back to it’s simplest function. No docking or syncing required. Instead, Genie plays music relevant to your mood. Feeling giddy? How about some pop music? Perhaps you’ve had a long day at the office and need to unwind. Genie might play a little Bach. The design itself is meant to look like a sculpture. The conical shape helps radiates sound and eliminates the need for traditional speaker grills.

Dell Splinter By Chris Corrigan

admin — Wed, 11 May 2011 21:01:07 +0000

The encouragement and sponsorship of Dell into a semester-long studio project in the Fall 2010, at the Virginia Tech, is about to reach fruition this year. The Chris Corrigan and Groups’ brainchild is taking shape to set the students free from carrying a laptop, a cell phone or a camera separately for seeking optimum result out of the devices. All their needs in the desired service quality have been put together into a ‘simple looking, complex working’ small tablet device. But this is surely not another iPad of that kind.

The Dell Splinter is a device that is designed as two detachable units, the smaller one of which can be taken apart from the other any time and can be configured into a device of a user’s special choice like a calculator, an MP3 player or a Skype phone and surely many more, while the bigger unit serves as a laptop with quick-boot functionality all the time. Even it is compatible with third-party software and hardware development which makes it more appealing to its users.

The two-unit device with one customizable subunit makes it a computer which can be turned into whatever communicable, amusement or working devices one wants. One can do it simply by detaching the small subunit and customizing it that way. Designed with two-touch sensitive thumb surfaces at the top of the device satisfies the ergonomic aspect of the device too.

admin — Sat, 30 Apr 2011 23:50:14 +0000

Listening to your favorite music with some pretty great sound quality will be a cup of tea in future, literally. Now we’ve seen some pretty weird and awesome mp3 players in our days. But they usually look like mp3 players, and nothing else. This one’s different though and will need to be kept away from technologically blind folk or someone stupid enough to think it’s really a cup and try drinking from it. Now it’s not exactly an ideal design for a portable mp3 player. Imagine travelling in a subway an pulling out a cup, plugging in headphones and listening, while your fellow travelers stare in astonishment.

The ZAN (meaning “cup” in Korean) is more of a novelty device that you could use at home, and would fit right into your kitchen for your cooking time entertainment. The ZAN’s graphical interface shows up patterns, each for a day in a week, eye-candy in a cup.

Designer David Turpin has caught my attention with his unique concept device. A beautiful work of design, David’s concept dubbed, Phone & Mp3 Player & Calculator is a unique touch screen device that functions as a phone, Mp3 player and a calculator all in one. You might say that one finds all these features in a basic mobile phone now days. However, in David’s concept device one does not select the music player or calculator application, instead the entire device transforms; yes, it literally takes the shape of an Mp3 player or calculator. Since there is no information provided by the designer on how this gadget would work, we can only guess its features and functions from the images.
