As its name suggests, Subway LCD watch concept from Peter Fletcher was inspired by subway line or underground train maps. This watch displays random numbers on its face and there’s a line that will connect those numbers so that user can read the time easily, just like a subway map that we usually see. Without the line, those numbers are meaningless, simply push a button to activate the line (or preferable touch sensitive screen). Once activated, the always on LCD display will animate chain links until it connects to the appropriate numbers all together to inform user about the time or date. Numbers are linked sequentially in order in which they should be read.

Check 1-2 is the solution of the painful moment when you’ve just finished a great meal and shared with your friends. When the bill arrives, there would be much debate who should pay a full share and who doesn’t have to. Using today’s technology, Wi-Fi, magnetic card readers, and affordable tablets, there should be a better way to do this. Even major online payments from PayPal to start-ups like Square are offering great solutions for us. PushStart, a product design company, has envisioned a purpose-built, all-in-one solution to make checkout process simple and secure.

Hello Folks, I have received my X-Mini 2nd Generation speaker a couple of days earlier and have really amazed with what I got for as low as 15 pounds. Let me be a bit more elaborative…
Starting from the package I received, a cool sleek package with the heading “Audio Revolution in a Box”, which really enhances the attention. I have opened the package and yeah I got a bit disappointed since almost all the portable speakers come in a pair. Well I must say this feeling got away as soon as I plugged in the little monster with my iPod. But still, I wish I had 2 X-Mini 2nd Generation speakers to make better comparison with X-Mini Max.
