We have seen a lot of concept vacuum cleaners in the past. This one looks promising. The movement is done by shifting the center of gravity. But how does it vaccuum corners ?

Video explains it all:

We are all very interested in the upcoming Windows Phone 7. As the new mobile OS from Microsoft is getting closer to launch date, people are getting nervous. Of course, that can sometimes be a good thing. Check out the design concept of XDA's Livven (@FollowLivven on Twitter).

Remember this is JUST A CONCEPT based on a rumor that HTC Mondrian (1.3GHz) will be Diamond/TouchPro/HD based. The author is working on HD3 based concept as well.

We really think that 5-row keyboard is a must on qwerty devices, and it would be great if a similar device would hit the markets on Fall 2010.

There is one WP7 phone that is already known – LG Panther. According to MobileTechWorld Microsoft has been sending to its worldwide offices to start training people and developers. We must admit that Panther looks cheep, with not so comfortable keyboard (small space, 4-row).

Now, you can have a glimpse at smartphones of tomorrow. Or, should we say: smartwatches. For now, it is only a concept conceived in the mind of designer Susan Cho, but idea is very promissing. Device is equipped with multi-touch screen, GPS, maps, e-mail, contacts, to-do lists, and, at least by the looks of it, a very usable UI. Since this is only the concept, there are no informations on how (or whether) they are planning to cram all those features in relatively small watch, and leave enough space for some decent battery. But, we're holding our fingers crossed

Korean designer Rhea Jeong has sent in images of her ‘Void’ LP player concept. The record player uses a carrier and dock outfitted with a magnetic and auto-calibrating control system which carries the LP into thin air as it is playing music. a self-running record player shaped in the form of a red sphere, contains a needle, amplifier and speaker, spins around the record, bringing the music to life. the sphere that plays the vinyl was technically influenced by the Vinyl Killer, currently the world’s smallest LP player that has a built-in motor, amplifier and speaker.

Simple colors and shapes express a kind of astronomical movement between the object and space. the levitation is managed electronically. once turning the player on, you can manage the elevation levels through the touch sensors on the front side of the base unit.
