Wireless wonders by Wired

February 19th, 2010

I found some crazy concept objects on Wired : Bizarre concept phones, USB-enabled soccer balls and a solar-powered phone named after a shoe company are some of the stranger things the mobile phone industry has up its sleeve for the coming year. Read more

Check Wired and notice the wireless wonders.

I choose 3 of my favourites concept gadgets:

Melting Chocolate Phone:

There are more crazy concepts, this time a melting “chocolate” phone from NTT Docomo. We don’t expect to find this in stores, at least not outside of Japan, but these scrumptious cells take LG’s chocolate concept and give it a rather literal twist.

The Lego Robot:

This Lego robot, unofficially named Johnny Five, is remote-controlled over Bluetooth from a BlackBerry. I spotted the little fellow in the aisles and crouched down to get a shot. He rolled over towards me to pose. The weirdest part was trying to find the owner, as every person around me was twiddling their phone and could have been in control. It was impossible, until a guy from BlackBerry caved and started to grin.

Odball:

Is this a) a soccer ball, b) a robotic eyeball, or c) a USB 3G modem? The answer is all three, and sends us into a shuddering nightmare of themed, novelty gifts for “the man who has everything.” This particular oddball comes from Chinese manufacturer Huawei, and works on HSPA, EDGE and GPRS networks. The ball cracks open to reveal a USB connector within, and it works with Macs, Linux and Windows machines.
