Only ticket RPI (A) can offer is from India to Pakistan: Ramdas Athawale on reports Seema Haider joining his party The device has a small touchscreen with some shortcuts and notifications. It has a projector that projects the usual homescreen on your palm your fingers do the rest of navigation using this projected display. You don't have to carry it in your pockets, because the wearable device can be strapped around your wrist. This device is truly futuristic and completely adheres to Apple’s weight loss therapy. Take a look at the iPhone palm concept phone below. How cool is a smartwatch with a projector that serves as a keypad. Now, a standalone smartwatch isn't something novel, but how about it is capable of doing just about everything like your smartphone. With the increasing number of smartwatches and biggies like Apple and Google have taken the plunge into this sector, there could be a point when we could see an intersection of both categories. The question is how small yet effective will the battery be? Nevertheless, we are hopeful and would love to see this concept reach mainstream markets sometime in the near future. The image below shows the speaker, camera and also a cool charging dock. To know all updates even without the need to pull out the screen, one could view notifications on the touchscreen embedded on the body of the concept pen.

doing something that's genuinely better is very hard.' When was the last time you were truly taken in by the design of a phone? As Jony Ive, Apple's design genius, once said, 'Different and new is relatively easy. You know that four is better than two and it doesn't take much to convince people about that.īut the obsession with absolutes means that true design innovation has gone out the window. How fast is it? What is the storage capacity? How big is the screen? How sharp is it? In essence, this is a comfortable space to compete in. It is an industry where there is an obsession about product attributes that one can measure empirically. In fact, the phone industry has become incredibly conservative from a design perspective. HTC looks at them both and the Chinese borrow design cues from everyone. Smartphones are getting bigger, sleeker and more powerful.
