iStick

While designer Alexei Mikhailov’s iStick concept is not a perfect mobile convergence device or iPod killer (the screen is too small for practical photo or movie viewing), it offers a visual replication of the iPhone/Touch space inside a stylish and fashionable device the size of a lipstick tube that just looks beautifull.

That’s the Momenta, one of the finalists in Microsoft’s Next-Gen PC Design Competition.

Momenta, the neck worn PC also captures the best and most exciting moments of your life. Ever thought, “Man I wish I had that on tape!” When everybody is laughing themselves to tears, Momenta has already captured the previous 5 minutes from its rolling buffer and continues to record until you tell it to stop. Triggered by increased heart rate, it captures those hilarious or exciting moments that are usually lost forever. Whether it’s an exciting sports experience, a funny social scene, the scene of an accident, etc. you can capture it and share it.

Bears like it so why not humans? This bamboo inspired stereo looks good (ignore the pink) and thru the natural acoustics of cylindrical objects, sounds good too. But it’s not just nature-ry, it also has every accoutrement a technophile would want. Think wifi enabled, wireless speakers, integrated LED screen, MP3 line in, remote desktop syncing, radio, and yes - cd player.

Bamboo is a unique stereo system designed to help alleviate some of the loneliness in our contemporary lives.

Bamboo implies tranquility and companionship. Bamboo’s aim is not only to supply “soothing sonic satisfaction” but also to provide healing and comfort for people in a chaotic and stressful postmodern world. The built-in LED (Light Emitting Diode) on the side of the speakers produces various forms of sound visualisation. Music is transmitted wirelessly from the main system to the speakers. The main component is comprised of a recharging element, a built-in wireless-LAN WIFI, CD player, radio and MP3 player. This unique combination facilitates saving downloaded music automatically from any computer since it has its own IP address (ipv6).
