The City Car by MIT Media Lab

Huge megalopolises confront daily with the problem of pollution and traffic congestion. Media Lab researchers proposed City Car design as a way to improve urban mobility. The concept of smart car aims to be pollution-free and easily customized. The City Car is a stackable electric two-passenger city vehicle. It utilizes integrated in-wheel electric motors and suspension systems called “Wheel Robots” that eliminate the need traditional drive train configurations like engine blocks, gear boxes, and differentials. The vehicle can maneuver in tight urban spaces and park by sideways translation.

TechFaith Wireless, China’s design manufacturer focused on research and development of cell phone solutions announced the release of the world’s first WCDMA/GSM dual mode phone.

It is the world’s first cell phone that allows users to load one WCDMA card and one GSM card or to load dual GSM SIM cards. This feature has been long demanded by international travelers, and by people who would like to have both a business and a personal number in one cell phone.

This handset is supplied with a 2.8 inch touchscreen. Moreover, it also comes equipped with a 2-megapixel camera which allows taking only average quality captures. Producers also added an MP3 and video player and a microSD card slot.

Independent concept designer Bence Bogar  came up with his own Sony Ericsson concept device. PXi is powerful while remaining slim and ergonomic. The body sports a magnesium body framing a big 3.3 inch touchscreen similar to the iPhone. The screen rotates automatically. On the right is a jogdial and secondary touchscreen that adapts to whatever app that is currently open. There are two memory card slots for those who think 8GB isn’t enough. In addition, this concept PXi is equipped with stereo speakers and a 5 megapixel Cybershot camera.

LG Touch Concept Phone Design

The design of the LG Touch represents a mixture of different technologies into one piece of gear. It combines Prada’s outlook, touchscreen capabilities borrowed of Apple iPhone’s, and dockable base of Palm Foleo which not only lets you sync and charge, but displays a virtual keyboard for data entry.
There’s even dual LCD displays on the edges and neon green connectors for the remotes and headsets. All in all, it’s a very pretty concept, but definitely unlikely to be made any time soon.
