Mystery T swivel Phone Doesnt Reveal Itself Loading ... A mysterious T-swivel handset surfaced online recently and no one managed to find out what brand it belongs to… So, it got the reputation of being just another concept/idea/prototype, a decent one though, packing a QWERTY keyboard, front camera and a hot display. There’s also a touchpad and two mouse buttons beneath the keypad…

Hmmm… Android Phone?

Sony Playstation Nano Blue Sky HD Concept Console Supports Bluetooth Loading ... We’re all about concept phones, but sometimes we stop and take a glance at some console designs, just because we’re fanatic gamers and some of those consoles are incorporated in handsets. Well, this is not the case, as we’re dealing with a “desktop console”, the Sony Playstation Nano Blue Sky HD designed by Remo Wakeford.

Sony Playstation Nano Blue Sky HD Concept Console Supports Bluetooth

This is a Nano version of the PlayStation console that comes with handheld joysticks that look like some sort of knuckleheads. You’ll control the device with the aid of your fingers who’ll press the joysticks’ four buttons. Of course, the console supports HD, BluRay and Bluetooth, so it’s more of a miniature PS3 than a brand new device.

Big Brother Concept Phone is a KDDI Scary Idea Loading ... In the latest Batman movie, “The Dark Knight”, the superhero uses Gotham’s handsets to “look through walls” in order to find out the position of the villains… Seems that this feature will soon be heading to KDDI phones as well, because the scientists of this company created a prototype that can use geomagnetic sensors, accelerometers and GPS to reveal its location.

Big Brother Concept Phone is a KDDI Scary Idea

This futuristic gizmo will render its surroundings on-screen in OpenGL and even cover areas that are not in sight. Is this the beginning of a huge Big Brother experiment conducted with the aid of our handsets?

You might not want to take your phone with you in order to hear someone calling the next time you take a shower… Who knows who’s spying?
