LG Announces Phone Design Competition, in Partnership With CrowdSPRING

Thrystan — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 00:49:26 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.LG Mobile Phones has just announced the third annual “Design the Future” competition, in partnership with CrowdSPRING (online marketplace for creative services) and Autodesk (leader in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software). This competition debuted on March 15th and gives consumers the opportunity to design the LG phone of their dreams.

More than $80,000 in prizes are available as part of this challenge. 40 winners will be awarded on this occasion, with the first place winner getting $20,000, a Wacom Intuos4 media tablet and Autodesk industrial design software. The second place winner gets $10,000 and Autodesk SketchBook Pro software, while the third place winner will receive $5,000 and Autodesk SketchBook Pro software.

37 honorable mentions of $1,000 each will also be awarded. The competition ends on April 26, 2010 and requires participants to be US residents (citizen or green card holders), who are 18 years of age and older. Autodesk will supply entrants in the competition with a free 15 day trial version of SketchBook Pro, a paint and drawing app compatible with the Mac and PC.

We have to mention that this year’s challenge also involves Russell Bobbit, a famous movie prop master, who will award “The Prop Master’s Choice” to a competition entrant, who will receive $3,000 and the Autodesk SketchBook Pro software. Also, the winning design will be made into a mockup device that will be used in Bobbitt’s next movie. Bobitt worked on great titles like Iron Man, Iron Man 2 and Star Trek, so it’ll be great for the winner of that prize.

More details on the competition can be found here.

iPhone HD Concept is Fat, Glossy, Prone to Dropping on Floors (Video)

Thrystan — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:27:01 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Another day, another iPhone 4G concept, this time one that looks pretty “fat” and does HD video. We don’t know if “HD” refers to video capture or simply playback, so we’ll assume it’s both. The device also packs social networking features and comes with a rounded back side.

iPhone HD uses a front videocall camera, or so we think, while the back camera comes with a flash and the phone is sure to offer more than 32GB, like most iPhone concepts do lately. Notice that the design is pretty glossy and the form factor tends to remind me of a Toshiba product, although I’m not sure why…

Here’s a video of the handset:

Sliding PSP Concept Looks a Retro Joystick When Closed

Thrystan — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 22:09:07 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.This very slim PSP concept was created by Nick Kim and you have to know that the console uses a sliding mechanism that hides its hot display beneath parts that incorporate the gaming buttons. When closed, the device looks like an old school controller, but when the PlayStation Portable is open it looks as if the older version was cut in half and made more elegant, although it looks a bit fragile that way.

What do you say about this PSP design?

GON Portable Console Concept, Created by Justin Porcano

Thrystan — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 19:50:36 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.We’ve been handling lots of concept phones lately, but very few portable console designs. Thus, we’re glad to stumble upon Justin Porcano’s creation, the GON console pictured below. This PSP rival uses an innovative way to protect the screen, by covering it with two sliding sections that include the gaming controls.

This reminds me of an Xbox controller, combined with a smaller and modified PlayStation Portable. The handheld gaming system uses a platform that once again resembles the PSP and I have to say that we really like those analog sticks incorporated into the device.

Keep in mind that this is a mere concept console and not a real product, so don’t bother asking for its price.Would you like this to become a real product?

Vintage iPhone Design Comes From Good Old Russia

Thrystan — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:28:21 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Forget about these cool iPhone 4G concepts and let’s move on to something classic, like the following iPhone design. Made in the classic style of the Soviet electronics, the product bears the name Electronica I-Phone and comes with modern features like Safari, iTunes and many more.

You’ll love those Cyrilic alphabet buttons (just like on Siemens SX1), but all in all this device reminds me more of a portable radio of some sort, or even an older payphone gone wrong.

HTC HD3 uses a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU and also features 1GB of RAM memory, 1GB ROM memory, 16GB of internal memory and a microSD card slot. The screen on board of the handset is a 4.5 inch AMOLED multitouch display, with 800 x 1280 pixel resolution. There’s also an 8 megapixel camera at the back, complete with dual LED flash and supporting 720p video capture.

A front camera is also included, doing video calls, while the connectivity is handled by WiFi, 3G, 4G and Bluetooth support, plus USB, HDMI and a 3.5mm audio jack. A 1800 mAh battery powers this superb Windows Phone 7 smartphone. Simply great, isn’t it?

iPhone Pro Concept, Possibly the Best iPhone 4G Design Ever

Thrystan — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:09:15 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.One thing is for sure: not even Apple will be able to deliver a better design than the one created by Antonio De Rosa. The following incredible images portray his concept, the iPhone Pro. Feel free to click on each image to see its larger version and don’t forget to check out the video showing the device, at the end of the article.

Antonio informs us that this iPhone concept runs OS 3.2 and uses a sophisticated mechanism that hides two paddles with LED backlight and touch surface. The front camera on the handset is hidden inside the top paddle and you should know that this innovative design makes the iPhone more comfortable for a great gaming experience.

There’s also a MagSafe power connection on the back and we have to say that this certainly looks like the perfect multimedia gaming phone, complete with 64GB of internal memory. There’s a gallery of this iPhone 4G design shown over here and on the same site you’ll find info about ADR Studio, a company to which designer Antonio Di Rosa is associated.

Info about this device can also be found on Recombu.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Renovatio Gets Pictured Again

Thrystan — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:10:55 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.Remember XPERIA Renovatio, the great smartphone design by Jozef Kocúr? Now we’ve got some fresh images of the fully transparent phone that supports gesture recognition. This touchscreen concept phone also comes with email features, a virtual QWERTY keyboard, a calculator and calendar.

The music player on the XPERIA Renovatio looks quite nice, since it’s pretty simple to use and there’s even a photo gallery feature on board, although we have to mention that another unique feature of the device is its black and white screen.

While some of you might not like this choice, that’s part of the charm of this Sony Ericsson concept, based on transparency and elegance.

Smartbook Tablet Concept, Some Sort of iPad, But With More Features

Thrystan — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:42:10 +0000

Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.If you’re looking for an Apple iPad rival, it’s not hard to find one nowadays, with all those cool tablets coming this year. For now, we turn to concepts, like the Smartbook device pictured below and designed by In-oh Yoo & Sun-woong Oh for Metatrend Institute. What does this device have as a plus? A smartphone that it can use as a QWERTY keyboard!

Yes, you’ve got it! The Smartbook tablet concept is made out of two devices: the tablet per se, looking very much like an iPad and a smartphone that can turn into a QWERTY keyboard and get connected to the tablet. On board of the main units you’ll find a gravity sensor, so it’ll work in both landscape and portrait mode. You might also want to know that the tablet is compatible with a stylus, used with its 7 inch screen.

You can sync the smartphone/keyboard with the main device and charge them by uniting connecting the units through magnet. Once the QWERTY keyboard is folded, it turns into a cellphone, with a touch display and microphone. Both devices support Chrome OS or Android OS and use a touch interface.
