Hasta La Ideas

Making the blog rounds is video of the Line Phone, a concept design that reportedly won first prize in a Chinese design competition (one that’s apparently Google-proof, at least in English). The interface design features some neat ideas, like using the edges of the all-screen phone as slider buttons and the capability to place multiple phones adjacent to one another to make a communal screen. That last feature in particular is one we’ve not seen before and one that could truly promote the kind of contagious, small-scale community interaction that marketers dream of.

First 30 seconds of the video is filler, so skip it and get to the phone:
