This TouchMan cellphone turns into a communication furniture when clicked into the main device at home and let you communicate and share emotions permanently with your friends in an visual way. A mixture of screensaver, instant messenger and aquarium. You can watch your contact like fishes in an aquarium on the touchscreen. They could change color and activity to their current moods and availability. Use the camera to share your perspective or chat with several contacts at the same time. When the battery is running out, you can use the docking station to charge the main station and the cellphone at the same time, when the cellphone is disconnected, the main device sleeps. Taking the main device around the house won’t be a problem since there is a acryl cover to protect it.
This is an energy saving product for public spaces. With its 7.3 square meters of the main panel with solar cells and with MoSESS (Movement sensors energy saving system), it is able to provide illumination throughout all night. All objects that are part of this concept are connected to each other by an underground connection and also to electric grid which enables sharing of leftover energy in cases when this is needed.
Public telephones and other public services (such as Automatic telling machines, Internet services, informational services) that are put in streets for more convince to customers consume electric energy. Not only for illumination but for different digital devices such as computers, LCDs, information panels, wireless devices… More and more of these services will be available on streets and more energy will be needed to support them. Solar public multipurpose booths provide, whatever the apparatus is inside, with necessary energy. Also every booth has lights that are powered by the same solar panels.
Bus stops with their large protective panels provide ideal space for application of solar cells. Generally, bus stops do not use much energy and in this way they can help other users from the SOLAR STREET FAMILY that use more electricity. Even more, the electricity collected by the Solar bus stops can be used by any other user as they are all connected to each other as well as to electric company. Lights of the bus stop itself are positioned in the base of solar panel and in the bus stop seating directed toward ground.
Solar park lamp uses the same MoSESS (Movement Sensors Energy Saving System) as Solar street lamp to reduce energy consumption. In the same way it recharges its batteries during the day and in the night uses it for illumination.
The inspiration of this mobile phone is based on the beauty of reflections on a lake. Using large, transparent display screen as the manifestation of its conceptual inspiration – the beauty and tranquility of reflections on the surface of a lake. When this phone in the off mode, you can see the screen looks like a still water surface. During operation, flowing music, film images, pictures, web pages, articles, and user interfaces appear on the display, reminiscent of the reflections on the water?s surface. As users indulge in the visual experience provided by the large screen, they are reacquainted with the beauty of the lake?s reflections.
Fascinating Figure cell phone can be operated horizontally, diagonally and even vertically. Its interface can also be transformed to give it a curved appearance. The adaptable screen interface is able to adapt to meet various picture display requirements and circumstances, which gives greater user satisfaction. In addition, the screen can be personalized with the background image settings. The user is able to select images according to their moods and preferences, giving a stylish dimension to suit the user?s lifestyle.
Another innovative design concept from Nokia, the morph concept. Featured in The Museum of Modern Art ?Design and The Elastic Mind? exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users. Developed by NRC (Nokia Research Center) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom), Morph is a concept phone that using nanotechnology which enables materials and components that are flexible, stretchable, transparent and remarkably strong. Users should be able to transform their cell phone into different shapes.
From the website : “Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices: * Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
* Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
* Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
* Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
* Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices”
We probably see this technology another 5-7 years in the future, by using nanotechnology, hopefully can lead to low cost manufacturing solutions and the possibility of integrating complex functionality at a low price.
XPERIA X1 marks the launch of a new brand for Sony Ericsson company, this product is hoped can gain attention from slider phone lovers. Featuring 3 inch wide VGA display, 3.2 mega-pixel camera, slider-design body, touch screen, and full wide-pitch QWERTY keyboard. This probably the next iphone rival. No one mention about any price just yet, we can hope to see XPERIA X1 in the market around second half of 2008. Let’s hope so !
