This is the reason why designers are increasingly moving towards sustainability to bridge that gap.

The device clearly looks like a Windows phone 7 device from the interface along with a touch screen feature. According to a brief by the designer, this sustainable mobile phone has a life expectancy of 5 years along with super quick charge time, 8.1MP camera, WiFi, 360 OLED screen and 32GB memory with an upgradeable feature.

A clock is essentially a time machine in that it is our only connection with time as we travel through it. Taking the clock one step further, designer Christie Brashers has designed a watch that can actually take you into the past and future. The watch disguises itself as fashionable wrist wear until touch-activated by the time traveler. It first shows the traveler which point in time he is currently in as the dots disappears and the date becomes visible. Before traveling, he selects a destination in time by scrolling his finger along the blue lines to shuffle through the year, month, day and time of day.

Sony just barely updated the PSP but designer Tai Chiem is already thinking about the next iteration. His design calls for a flexible OLED display that can be conveniently rolled. An electric charge powering the display stiffens it while providing near bezeless prime real estate for gaming. Stereo speakers on either side double as a jog wheel and camera control. He also envisages Sony finally implementing two joysticks. Pipe dream or not, it’s sexy and lives up to its name; it don’t get any more portable than this.
