Nokia Kinetic Concept

Nokia kinetic Design Concept

Taking Nokia’s playfulness and heritage of innovative mechanism to a new level, British designer Jeremy Hopkins has come up with a unique cellphone that converting digital information into kinetic energy makes receiving a call, text message or email more playful than ever before. Intended especially toward businesspersons, the magical mobile phone responds to notifications through movement. The playful Nokia cellphone also features an electromagnet at the base to shift the weight and keep it in an upright position, allowing the user to check the screen of the phone in a playful manner. If you don’t wanna receive a call, you can simply tap the cellphone to knock it down to return back in the standby mood. In short, the Nokia Kinetic is simply a seriously playful cellphone.

Standing up on its own is a much cooler notification than vibrate. We also won’t need to buy an additional Nokia phone stand accessory if it can do it by itself.

Would you like to see this kind of technology in upcoming Nokia phones?

Toast messenger

This toaster  incorporates a little message board where one can read quick notes. The message also gets “toasted” into the toast itself so it gives new meaning to “read while you eat”.

Stampy Digital Camera

Rubber_Digital_camera_1

Stampy is an amalgamation of a digital camera and a stamp. What makes it brilliant is how these two work in concert to give you fun photo sessions and even cooler review sessions. Stampy Digital Camera gives you the choice of generating a rubber-stamp version of your photograph. Meaning this version can be used on any surface or paper. It’s a great idea for birthday invitation cards or even thank you cards. Basically you can get really creative and make an array of personalized stuff with Stampy Digital Camera.

It’s very easy to work with as all you have to do is snap the photo, remove the back, and then put the required amount of ink onto the stamp. That’s all! Kudos to designer Jinhee Kim.

Green gadget charger by Nokia

nokia_bike_charger2 As green gadget chargers go, this one is pretty low-tech. But as it is made by Nokia, and aimed at developing countries, it is also likely that it will last forever.

The bike charger relies on the well-tested and durable bottle-dynamo to convert your pedaling into power, and the phone is held to the handlebars with a big rubber-band. In between is a box of circuitry to give a nice smooth current to any device equipped with a 2mm jack.

The Nokia charger will first be available in Kenya for around 15 euro ($18) and will go on sale worldwide by the end of this year. So how much power can our legs produce? Quite a lot, surprisingly: Pedal at 6 mph for just 10 minutes, and you’ll get almost half an hour of talk time or a stunning 37 hours of standby. The minimum speed required to charge a phone is 4 mph, or walking speed, so even a modestly jaunty commute should be enough to keep your cell going for a whole day.

We like the simplicity of Nokia’s gadget. Other solutions tend towards the complicated, with magnets or hub dynamos providing the juice. With bikes, though, simple is almost always best.
