Cool Concepts – The P-Per Mobile.

Check out this cool concept mobile phone from design firm Chocolate Agency.

pper1.jpg

The design consists of just 4 layers, a printed circuit board, extruded polycarbonate, recycled titanium, and a wrap around flexible haptic LED touchscreen.

Not exactly a novelty considering most touchscreen, tech-toting mobile phones out in the market. What made it stand out though is the proposed materials in making it. By minimizing materials, the design is highly sustainable. However, the tech needed for making this possible isn’t exactly cheap, making it a thingamajig only the Steve Jobs and Bill Gates of this world can afford (and you can’t even count on either Stevie and Billy buying this because the former already owns the entire iPhone production and the latter the MicroSoft Zune). Still, it doesn’t take away the fact that this is a very cool concept. Anyone has a decent guess when they can make this go mass production? I sure hope it’s in our lifetime.

The wrap around screen allows for endless user interface possibilities not to mention bezeless picture/movie taking and watching.

If that weren’t enough to challenge the iPhone, how about a 7mm wafer thin form factor, 3 megapixel camera, and a 2 minute recharge time!

This is a stunning looking concept, I would love to see something like this go into production.

Listen to your music through your bones with the Vibe Body Sound Headphones

If you want to listen to music and still be able to hear what is going on around you as well then these headphones might be for you.

Vibe Body Sound Headphones

The Vibe Body Sound headphones clip on to your outer ear and conduct vibrations through your skin and cartilage. Those vibrations rumble through your skull directly to your inner ear where you hear them clear as a bell. All the while, your ear canal remains uncovered, allowing the sounds from the environment access as well. Carry on conversations and never skip a beat.

The Vibe Body Sound Headphones are available to buy online for $99 from ThinkGeek.

PSP Firmware 3.90 update brings Skype to your PSP

Sony have released the new 3.90 firmware update for the PSP.

PSP Firmware 3.90 update brings Skype to your PSP

Now you can have Skype on your PSP, and the update is now available to download from the network update menu on the PSP.

Unfortunately the Skype feature will only work on the newer slim PSP 2000 models and you will also need a PSP headset and a remote to make the calls.

This new update lets you make free Internet calls  through the PSP Wi-Fi connection, and you will also be able to make SkypeOut calls for a small fee.

Geeky Accessories – The Wiimote Keychain

Check out this geeky accessory, the Wiimote Keychain.

The Wiimote Keychain

You can use this teeny controller to gain access to your house or car, or in some game play situations even turn on your car’s ignition. In certain scenarios, waving the remote in front of a grocery store clerk or a gas station pump provides discounts or initiates the fuelage mode. And occasionally it provides a series of numbers for secure access to computer systems. But beyond that, its functionality is pretty limited. It has no motion-sensing capabilities, and our attempts to plug it up to the mini-nunchuks or the hamster-sized WiiHelm accessory prototype proved fruitless.

Okay. It’s a keychain. It doesn’t *do* anything but hold your keys and various accoutrements that belong on a keychain. But it has tiny Nintendo styling, which you gotta like. Made of PVC, it measures c. 3 inches long x 3/4 in. wide x 1/2 in. deep.

The Wiimote keychain is available to buy online for $7.99 from ThinkGeek.com
