With This Ring: iRing Concept

Digital music truly in the palm of your hand...

A concept from artist Victor Soto, this digital ring would allow the wearer to interact with their iPod with Bluetooth connectivity. How would it work? Slide your finger back and forth on the ring to control the volume. Press the Apple icon to pause and play. Press either side of the apple icon to skip or reverse through your play list. There are buttons on the inner portion of the underside of the ring that would allow the user to toggle the hold function for the device. Conceptually the user would recharge the ring in the included USB powered docing station. This is still a full concept, and there has been no word as to if Apple developers are looking into the possibilities. At least it looks good.

Aeon Flux: Nokia Aeon Concept

Nokia Aeon...

Information about this phone is scarce. So far all that's been able to be found is that this is a concept for a fully touch screen phone. It is made up of two individual touch screens that can function independently of one another, displaying items of your choice. The two screens are connected by the fuel cell. This concept must be close to fruition because in China it appears that there may already be an imitator so to speak. This could explain it's absence on the Nokia site. Soon as more information is found, expect to see an update. For now, enjoy the pictures.

The front of the phone contains a large touchscreen display that slides out to reveal another touch screen that can display a QWERTY keyboard with tactile feedback, browser navigation buttons, even camera operation controls depending on the phone's current mode.

What makes this phone most impressive is its chemically based thin solar skin that will allow the phone's battery to charge when exposed to sunlight; an automatic feature of the phone. Though there are no reports stating that this phone will be in production soon, the concept has captured the industry's attention. Sites are stating that companies such as Apple have been exploring the use of alternative ways to power their phones. While the idea of a solar powered phone may seem a bit far reaching, the technology is viable enough to have companies looking into the possibilities.
