Concept Phones

Elite Phone Concept is all About Facebook and Twitter

Thrystan — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 15:59:02 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Social networking-oriented phones are all the rage now, in this age of connectivity, so Shane Crozier’s concept is pretty appealing, if you ask me. Dubbed the Elite Phone or simply 31337 (Elite), this handset is able to connect to Facebook and Twitter, filling its address book with the contacts in your social networking list.

Don’t expect the device to be anything special, since its features are pretty predictable, stuff like a camera, a speakerphone, music/video player and Internet features. The control system is minimal, relying on a 2 button/ 2 dial interface, with a scrolling UI that provides feedback.

Last, we learn that Shane Crozier’s concept phone measures 85mm in height and 15mm in diameter.

iPhone-Controlled Robot is Able to Play Soccer (Video)

Thrystan — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:05:47 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.You probably imagined that you’d get to control a tiny robot with the aid of a joystick or remote control in the not so remote future, but the solution comes, once again from Apple. Since joysticks aren’t that good when it comes to robot control, the iPhone is up for the task, thanks to the interface developed by a couple of grad students at Japan’s Keio University.

The robot control interface is based on finger swipes, presses and taps, as you can see in the video above. Boy, is that robot snappy or what? The control mechanism also relies on the iPhone’s accelerometer and multitouch screen and we’re impressed by the fluid movements of the tiny gadget, hopping around and performing sidesteps.

We want a bunch of these thingies playing football… now!

iPetals Solar Charger Will Juice up Your iPhone; a Mac Funamizu Design

Thrystan — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 23:59:10 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Designer Mac Funamizu has had his works showcased on our site a bunch of times and now he’s back for some more glory, thanks to the iPetals iPhone charger. This device also serves as a dock and its design is inspired from the personal solar charger created by Fandy Meng and dubbed Sunny Flower.

Mac Funamizu’s latest work uses solar energy to juice your iPhone and you can use it as a stand for the phone. It’s a sustainable product we’re dealing with and it integrates colored petals, mimicking a flower in bloom during the day and contracting in order to dock the iPhone.

Litl Webbook, Photo Frame and Netbook in One Device

Thrystan — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 01:09:39 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.We ran out of concept phones these days, but we’ve stumbled upon a pretty interesting portable device design you can check out below, the Litl webbook. Although we’re not sure if this is a concept or a real product, we tend to think that this is a mere prototype of a “webbook”. Said device is a combo between a netbook and a photo frame.

This slim portable gizmo allows users to surf the web, view photos, play videos and use other features that are pretty normal on a mini laptop. Its operating system is a custom one, easy to operate at any age (kids and elderly included).

Cloud computing services will also work with this webbook and you should know that Litl can be connected to a TV and its screen can be flipped over.

Nokia Shows Technology of 2015 In Front of Camera (Video)

Thrystan — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 01:22:40 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Nokia’s usual demo of future technology is once again loose, this time showing how mobile technology will look like in 2015. The company’s head of corporate strategy, Heikki Norta tells us how we’ll be living 6 years from now, surrounded by touch UIs and high tech devices. Here’s the video:

The key words for this not so remote future are augmented reality, omnipresent connectivity, dual display handsets, micro projectors, laser keyboards and basically anything we’ve seen as a concept, but turned into reality. A huge network aggregator will be at the core of the services and software, connecting hundreds of millions of users.

Intelligent devices will stay in sync, provide weather, financial and other types of updates and some uber-cool sharing options will also be available. Dreamy? Yes… and somewhat scary.

Fujitsu F-04B Projector Phone: From Concept to Hands On

Thrystan — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 08:53:53 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Who would have thought that a concept phone showcased at CEATEC 2008 would become a real device in 2009 and get some hands on quality time over at Akihabara News? We’re talking about the Fujitsu F-04B handset, that packs a projector, a dual keyboard and a touchscreen display.

Also dubbed Separate Keitai F-04B, this device is a splittable phone, that can be separated into two segments: the display unit and the keyboard unit connected via Bluetooth, each sporting a Lithium Ion battery. 1Seg TV is also on the specs list, together with a QWERTY keyboard, a 3.4 inch LCD touch display and an optional projector unit.

Said projector comes with a brightness of 6 lumens, 2 hours of lifespan (800 mAh battery), a DLP Pico chipset provided by TI and a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. Believe it or not, there’s also a 12.2 megapixel camera on board as well and all in all, the device is bulky and not quite responsive, but it’s good to see a concept phone coming to life finally.

Deffcon 1 Concept Phone, Another Piece of Work by Liam Quinn

Thrystan — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 01:32:36 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Liam Quinn is back with a fresh design, the Deffcon 1 concept phone, that you can check out in the images below. This beautiful handset comes with an 8 megapixel camera at the back, complete with 3x optical zoom, Xenon flash and dual LED flash. The device runs Orb OS, another concept by Liam Quinn.

Deffcon 1 sports a 3.5mm audio jack at the bottom, a 16:9 AMOLED screen (wrapped around the device) that’s also a full multi touch display, able to slide up and reveal a touch keypad with OLED buttons that modify their features according to the app you’re using. One you slide the screen down, multimedia buttons are revealed, including OLED volume controls.

We remind you that Deffcon is a series of phones created by Liam Quinn and we’re looking forward for the following models. Also, we’d like to wish the designer a happy birthday, since he’s celebrated it on November 9th.

Sony Ericsson Kurara Concept Versus Live Leaked Picture

Thrystan — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:38:32 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.We’ve mentioned Sony Ericsson Kurara once before on our site, but now we have to detail it, in case you’re not familiar with this device. After stumbling upon it on the Esato board, as a concept created by FlamEmo, we’ve come across a bunch of “live pictures” of the handset, available after the break.

Turns out that this is a Sony Ericsson phone capable of HD video recording and it sports a design that looks very much like that of SE Satio. Kurara should be running Symbian S60 5th edition and it also features an 8.1 megapixel camera and a 3.5 inch OLED display.

So, what’s the deal? Is this device real or a mere Photoshop work? We’ve yet to find an answer for this question, but maybe you can help…

Mobile Script Concept Portable Device is a Phone and a Laptop (Updated)

Thrystan — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 00:53:19 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Flexible touch displays are fashionable now, as shown by the Mobile Script concept phone pictured below. This phone/laptop packs a small front touch display, plus a larger screen on the inside of the handset. The latter can be pulled out and become an even larger display, turning the device into some sort of mini laptop.

LATER EDIT: As pointed out by one of our commenters, we have written about this device before, over here. Yes, we’re human and we do forget…

A virtual QWERTY keyboard will be displayed and I’m pretty sure that the web browsing experience will be neat. Saying that the larger display is a flexible screen is a lucky guess, but it seems very likely, considering the current design trends.

Also, keep in mind that the Mobile Script concept device uses a nano material, covering it and turning solar energy into “juice” that powers the phone.

Samsung Crystal Design Phone is a Photoshop Work or Leak?

Thrystan — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:06:08 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.We’ve just come across what seems to be a Photoshop work of a Samsung phone, pretending to be a real mobile phone. This seemingly new device is inspired by Samsung’s Crystal Design applied to the company’s LCD TVs. Expect this story to develop into something more interesting, as specs and probably live pictures leak out.
