This Stylish and fashionable Worldcloud Watch concept by Cory from USA. According to Cory, Wordclouds are a new phenomenon that has shown up in internet culture. It seems that a watch using E-ink that displays a wordcloud of the current time or date in interesting fonts would be a cool thing to have on your wrist. The word cloud always displays a ten minute segment of time. The current minute is the largest of the cloud, and the size descends for four minutes into the past, five into the future. Hour is always displayed in an all caps word, and minutes are always displayed in a lower case hyphenated word, or phrase like “half past” or “quarter till”. This is light weight, long battery life and it uses E-ink. Any font can be uploaded to the watch via USB which makes for endless combinations of clouds. [Tokyoflash]

Designer Edward Hale designed the the Tether concept phone, that has a unique way of storing its headphones. Edward says that he always sees people on the subway wrapping their earbuds around their phones when not in use. The idea here is to have an indented area on the smartphone for wrapping the cord above the screen and some custom sockets for the headphones in the lower part of the phone. The earbuds will also act as the speaker/earpiece when integrated in that way. The headphones pop out of the rubber immediately, so there’s no problem with detaching them. All the parts of the headphone mechanism are replaceable, while the jack is recessed into the body of the phone to be less obtrusive. [Source]

Schneider is ready with a piece of iphone lens-attachment after the launch of ipro lens system.. The product centers on a robust aluminum case, to which separate fisheye and wide-angle lenses can be attached, as can a tripod, via the provided adaptor.. Lenses can be fitted and removed quickly and easily. Lenses have an anti-reflection coating and are painted at the edges, so that lens flare is supposedly eliminated. Perhaps the smartest feature of all is the three-in-one tripod mount adaptor that is also a lens case as well as a handle, which Schneider Optics claims is helpful for taking steady shots.However, Schneider Optics has announced that a compatible telephoto lens will be released in April for approximately $100, which would hand the $50 advantage back to the iPhone Lens Dial.

This is a concept created by Serguey Markov after Apple revealed the first ipod shuffle (usb-stick). This concept uses keyboard tactile feedback and keyboard is the another light reflective display (technology similar to the e-ink, or maybe e-ink itself). There is a company named Immersion, they invented such things. But in Jul 2007 Nokia has licensed Immersion’ VibeTonz. The concept of device uses complete surface as the display, pretty contrast to read the e-books. Also, almost all surface is sensorial that means you can use and even reprogram all of it’s sides or corners to act as you wish. For an example, make the right side to act as the scroll wheel or the wacom’ touch strip. Moreover it could be some kind of “sensorial profiles” for applications.
