There are a bunch of videos doing the rounds today that certainly worth watching. Two from Microsoft and two from RIM (BlackBerry). They all look at devices we might expect to be able to play with in the near future. There are clearly some trends; lots more speach and touch, lots of holographic projections but […]
Steampunk smartphone
Richard Clarkson, aka @Clarkson_Rich, has designed this simply stunning steampunk phone. He calls it a “rotary mechanical smartphone” and I can see why. Clarkson writes that he wanted to include more feeling and life into our digital technology. I think he’s succeeded. Don’t you?
