Futuristic Nokia Concepts Reviewed

nitinah writes "Nokia design concepts is an ongoing initiative from the Finnish communications giant that invites designers around the world to create breakthrough cellphone designs. Phonemag has coverage of this year's entries, which includes the Aki, a wrist wrap device for programmed self expression that tunes its behavior and outgoing/incoming communications based on the moods and gestures of the user, and allows 'talking' without speaking, just by gesture. Another design is the Acibo, which features a mini buddy device that has an entirely voice driven all-in-one personal communicator which can be charged by bio-energy. More featured concepts include a wearable, shock proof and waterproof device, the SURV1, a necklace based communicator called the Global Nomad , and a complete communication device called the Colores, with virtual storage to access all your personal information on the go."

  1. I think what we need from Nokia by Pudusplat · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is better emoticon control and more loud ringtones. I'm always trying to text friend all my peeps with cool news, but its just too hard for me to type :D and :-) using the normal interface.

    Then, when I REALLY want to jam out to the tunes, I'm always interupted by annoying people who tell me to turn off or down my phone. I mean, I paid for the movie too, its not like phones are illegal. Anyhow, why would they make phones light up if they weren't meant to be lit up?

    I think Nokia rocks. But I think Jay-Z is under-represented on the ring tone list. If they could do something about that I would much appreciate it. Anywayz, its time for me to peace out. Later guyz! TTYL! BBL! IWTFUSHITH! :D :-D
