Hasta La Ideas

Here is another vintage look at what cellphones can grow to become. Yes, transparent screens are a must and so is the passion for expansive displays. With Google Glasses and other such innovative tech coming around the bend, we have to pause and rethink our perception of communication. Maybe the future of phones will no longer be a candy bar or clamshells. What do you think?

You have to hand it to Samsung and Apple’s forward thinking design team that made it acceptable for us to have phones that are a cross between a tablet and well … a phone! While the new forms give us a gawky looking device, The Bionic Silkworm Inspired Phone takes us back to the basic shape of an ergonomic handset. Designed to make both children and the elderly comfortable with its use, the LED display and infrared sensor technology make it as tech-savvy as it gets. So which will you prefer… a phablet or a phone?

LifeHub is a paradox in many ways, on one hand it marks the birth of an innovative concept and on the other hand it spells the death of many! In a nutshell, LifeHub is a Watch, Smartphone, Headset, Key, Wallet, Bluetooth Speaker and Projector, all rolled into one. By investing in this one item, you end up eliminating the need for eight individual devices, thus saving up on space and resources. Sounds interesting? Read on….

• LifeHub is a Watch, the Memory polymer and a bendable OLED screen creates a stylish and secure bracelet that tells you the time. Messages, weather or music, get them all here.
• LifeHub is a Smartphone, bend the bracelet into a candy bar where the simplest of interfaces; make video calls by bending just the bottom half of the device and setting it on a surface. Apps, contacts, messages, email, games, media, and feeds greet you in high definition and with stereo sound.
• LifeHub is a Headset, two discreet Bluetooth earpieces with microphones are secured in the device and have to be snapped off to use as a headset. While snapped in, they function as an earpiece + microphone or external stereo speakers when activated.
• LifeHub is a Key that is password protected and programmable. They work with physical locks enabled with LifeHub access. The Key also doubles up as a data transfer device.
• LifeHub is a Wallet that stores Credit Card and Debit Card data from several cards.
• LifeHub is a Speaker that docks into the base to become portable audio speakers with rich bass. The device is also automatically backed up when docked.
• LifeHub is a Projector that is motion controlled in both flat and tilted positions.
• LifeHub is recharged on a charging pad and can function as your alarm clock, notepad, game center, message panel and weather station. It can even play you Internet radio!

The Grand Wizard smartphone goes beyond the MP3 playing functionality of other phones, turning the user into a real life mixmaster DJ with turntables and everything! Sure, there’s an app for that… but this is way more fun! The portable mixing station makes it possible to manipulate and produce media using intuitive right and left controls, each dedicated to a track. Make your own remixes while you’re on the go or at any time you’re inspired!

By now Jony Ive and his brigade must be having a good laugh at the number of iPhone 6 concepts doing the rounds. But I must admit that with each passing new idea, the designing and aspects are getting refined and eloquent. Who knows one of these may trigger an inspiration for Ive! Specs for this new idea include straight sides with chrome accents, upper and lower angles curved with grainy texture and gloss finish. The power button positioning, volume buttons on the left side, Nano slot and 3.5mm jack on the right side and speaker connector on the bottom. The loading dock is metallic and grounded along with being magnetized. What do you say… aye or nay?
