Seesaw Mobile Phone Concept

Featuring a high contrast OLED Display, a thin form factor and an almost flush fitting keypad.On the back there is ridge which houses a camera and a flashlight. This ridge also means if you set the phone down on a flat surface the slightly titled screen will still be visible.

The Hamburger Phone

This phone is best suited to Restaurants and Hotels. This Phone was featured in the movie “Juno”. It can create too much confusion among Kids and Adults alike. Infans will most of the time take it as eatable and the Adults will end up searching and yelling for their “Hamburgers”.

Nokia Gun Cell Phone Concept

Why would anyone need a Mobile Phone that doubles as a Gun? You bet it, to call 911 after you have shot someone. That is the best use of this phone I could come up with. This might also be useful if you forget things a lot. Most of the people will forget to take a gun with them when they have to go for walk, but only a few people forget to take their cell phones. The Cellphone Gun concept by Nokia is one of the many designs that are lethal enough to make the patent office reject it right away.

The Soft Phone Concept

This phone might do good with people that love to walk on their walk, or just beat it for bad news’. It is made of fabric and silicon making it squeezable and huggable, since it is created with that in mind. Moreover, you can make a call or hang up by the level of squeeze you give this cellphone

Nokia E97 concept mobile phone

Fabien Nauroy’s Nokia E97 concept shows incredible thought and a sleek phone. The concept has a full keyboard in “AZERTY” layout, with a small LCD screen above the keyboard. But the best part is the pull-out LED screen that can work as a storage device, and make file and picture sharing somewhat retro, and also futuristic.

The Magic Stone Mobile Phone Concept

What do you want? The perfect phone. How do you get it? Magic! It’s the “Magic Stone” telephone. It’s any shape you want it, it’s any color you want it. Within reason, cripes! You order the phone up, it’s sent you you in the mail, and wah-la! There you have it! Also it’s got not only a touch-screen, a holographic display, constant internet access, storage space, games, and it’s charged wirelessly or by sunlight, intercepted by it’s outer case. Enough?
“Absolutely any shape” is what you can accomplish with this phone, as well as any color, patterning, pictures, etc. for the case. This case is also covered with a “nano material” converting the sunlight into the energy your phone needs to function. The phone can also be charged wirelessly with electromagnetic fields.

Easter Moai Concept Phone Is Elegant, Tall and Dark

The latest work of designer Joong-Ho Choi is the beautiful concept phone below, dubbed the Easter Moai cellphone. The handset features a touchscreen LCD display and a pretty original placement of its function keys: on the corner edge of the device.
The innovative key layout allows the implementation of a bigger display and, as you can see in the picture above, the phone comes with a dock, that incorporates speakers and turns the handset into a portable music player. Too bad that the device is a tad too thick for my taste, but its design is elegant enough to tempt potential customers

Mobile concepts

I get most excited on this one from Benq-Siemens:
As you can see all surface of BlackBox is a touch screen! Thus UI can be extremely flexible and useful.

Sony upgrade UX-series UMPC with 64bit CPU and 64GB SSD

Yesterday I was asking myself about the future of UMPCs and Tablet PCs and Today I got the answer in the shape of this news from SlashGear. The future of UMPC is guaranteed because we have Sony working for this market. In fact, if somebody can claim to be the first to explore the possibilities in this market, the first in create a UMPC and the first to have made one with enough power to move decently any OS (including Vista), That’s Sony!

While the outside remains unchanged, inside the compact casing it’s a different matter. For the first time the UX range supports 64-bit CPUs, with Sony choosing Intel’s U2200 and U2100 Core 2 Solo processors (running at 1.20GHz and 1.06GHz respectively). There’s also a 32-bit Celeron M523 if you’re scared of all this 64-bit excitement, and the option to swap out the now-looking-a-bit-weedy 40GB hard-drive for a 64GB SSD

The future of mobile

Mobile phone technology is advancing rapidly, but what can people expect to be using in 2015? What will their mobile be able to do and what will it look like? Nokia has collaborated with Industrial Design students from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London to come up with some ideas.
The winner
Daniel Meyer
The device was inspired both by the advent of video calling and the traditional practice of carrying pictures of family and friends with you. The handset is designed to sit as a picture frame wherever the user is, serving the dual purpose of communications device and a comforting familiar focal point at home, at work or when away.
Design your own phone
Will Gurley
This is about stripping away technology and making your mobile phone more personal. You can chose a clear perspex case and put in it items that are individual and personal.

Alternatively, you can buy attachments that say something about you, like a harmonica or a chess game.
Allmyfriends
Jack Godfrey Wood
Small, representational beads are exchanged instead of numbers. These are threaded on a necklace and to make a call you squeeze the bead of the person you want to call. Their bead will glow or vibrate. The electronics are in the clasp of the necklace, a microphone is worn as a ring and there’s a wireless earpiece.
Multi-sensory
Kimberly Hu
The device works with the sense of smell, sight, hearing and touch. The user experiences communication on a multi-sensory level. It can detect, transmit and emit smell. It can also radiate colours, light and temperature from a caller’s environment.
Blog a lot
Hannah Nuttal
This phone is for those who do a blog and provides a fast, easy and more advanced blogging device. The phone has four layers, allowing for a multitude of functions and different methods of use. It can also be treated like a photo album, with images easily retreived, tagged and published on the blog.
Regenerate
Nicola Reed
It aims to get people to be more green. It collects information on how much electricity and gas you use, how you get about, the type of products you buy and how you dispose of waste. It works on a reward system and you can earn free calls and texts by being environmentally friendly, like walking to work instead of driving.

Nokia, Cambridge Display "Morph"

Nokia, Cambridge Display "Morph"Techtree News Staff, Feb 26, 2008 1814 hrs IST
In future, users will be able to 'morph' their devices into any shape their heart desires; so the name "Morph".
E-Mail Print Soon, you may be able to wear your mobile phone around your neck or your wrist...


How? Currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is "Morph", touted as a 'bendable', 'stretchable' nanotechnology concept phone developed in conjunction by the Nokia
Research Center and UK's Cambridge University.

"Morph" is being billed as the device of the future, through which researchers at Nokia and the Cambridge varsity hope to demonstrate to the world at large how futuristic devices will be bendable into a myriad different shapes. So much so that users will be able to 'morph' their devices of the future into any shape their heart desires; hence the name "Morph".

"Morph" is also intended to showcase the power of nanotechnology upon which the device is based; Nokia claims nanotech is capable of delivering flexible- and transparent- electronics, as well as miscellaneous high-tech gadgetry of the future.

Elaborating on the concept phone, Bob Iannucci, chief technology officer for Nokia, said that the Nokia Research Center is constantly looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices, and that "Morph" shows the immense possibilities.

Adding to it, Professor Mark Welland, head (Nanoscience Group - Department of Engineering) of Cambridge University, said that developing the "Morph" concept alongside of Nokia provided them with a focus both artistically inspirational and significantly one which sets the technology agenda for their joint nanoscience research.

Incidentally, work on the "Morph" began in March last year but it is still in the early stages of development. However, Nokia believes that certain elements of "Morph" can be put to definite use in their high-end devices in the coming seven years or so. Nokia also aims to incorporate nanotech into all of its future devices.
