Future(?) Design of Mobile Phones

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the well-ok-not-quite dept.

Sad Loser writes "The future of the mobile phone is here, or at least a bunch of Nokia-sponsored industrial design students' take on the problem. The BBC also has more pictures." Most of these designs are quite silly (a necklace with squeezable beads for an address book?) but at least amusing.

    Forgive my neo-Ludditism, but why does a cell phone have to be more than a phone?

    Because the big, bulky, annoying, expensive part of carrying electronic devices around is a combination of:

    • Screen
    • Keypad
    • Battery

    Why carry more than one of each of those around when you don't have to?
