One Album Band Aid
The concept here with the Skinny Player is to offer one album space on a portable – Band Aid-esque device. The self-sticking player houses a play/stop button and flexible speakers. Although I am not so sure about the sound quality for the output, but the idea is worth exploring. The user-scenario is for exercise or such places where you want to keep your hands free, but still carry your music with you.

.
It is of course touch based and all the user’s connections are shown graphically so you can see who is connected to whom. Each contact has an avatar that is encompassed by two colored rings. The inner colored ring shows the contact’s previous emotional state, and the outer ring represents the contact’s current emotional state. It is important to show the shift in emotions in order to see how an event has affected that contact.
Another important feature that they felt was important was the “Emotional Health Chart”. This chart would monitor the user’s emotional health through an indefinite period of time. One would be able to see how a certain event, or phone call/ message has affected the user. Obviously, if the chart shows someone is always upset, there would be a problem… If permitted, a user would be able to view other user’s charts as well.
What Would Facebook and Twitter Sneakers Look Like?
So does Glasgow-based designer Gerry Mckay, who drafted these concept designs for Facebook and Twitter-branded Adidas shoes.
“Facebook as a brand is increasingly on the rise and I thought it would be interesting to see what it would look like if Adidas also released a limited edition Facebook Superstar, so I worked on my own design of the shoe and this is what I came up with,” wrote Mckay, who is employed neither by Adidas nor one of the two social networking giants.

Find my iPhone is now free
Find My iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch — the MobileMe feature that helps you locate your missing device and protect its data — is now free on any iPhone 4, iPad, or fourth-generation iPod touch running iOS 4.2.3 Once you set it up, you can find your lost device on a map, display a message on its screen, remotely set a passcode lock, and initiate a remote wipe to delete your data. And if you eventually find your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can restore everything from your last backup.

Concept Traffic Light Shows How Much Time Is Left Through A Sand Glass
You ever find yourself stuck at a traffic light that'll just never turn green? Doesn't it feel like forever? If traffic lights used this concept LED Sand Glass, you'll know exactly how much time is left. Here's how it works:
It's an incredibly simple idea: LED lights trickle down in a virtual sand glass that countdowns how much more Red and Green there will be. When it approaches 3 seconds left, the LEDs switch to yellow and give you an exact count on what's left.
Could it work? Maybe. But how it turns yellow before it turns green AND red could be a little confusing !
I'm sure many are impressed by this UAE inventor who's about to travel 200 miles across the desert in a solar-powered wheelchair.

iPhone 5 What Features Will it Have ???
You may be thinking? iPhone 5? But didn't the iPhone 4 just come out?
Here are a few things that I would like to see in iPhone 5:
Improved Antenna
Here are a few things that I would like to see in iPhone 5:
Improved Antenna
Anyone who remembers the launch of the iPhone 4 will remember th antenna issue and that is one of the first things that Apple should try to fix.
1080p HDMI Output
I know Apple likes to use its own connections (which just makes things difficult for the consumer) but they need to step up and allow the iPhone 5 to output in full HD mode. It is essential for a high end multimedia device.
Improved Battery Life
This is something that can be expected but more is always better. The iPhone is made to use all the time for everything so a new battery needs to hold up to a lot of heavy use.
4G Network
The iPhone 5 will be sure to take advantage of the new 4G network.
Flash Support
Just me dreaming. Apple isn't getting friendly with Adobe anytime soon.
These are just a few things that I would like to see in a new Apple iPhone 5. What would you like to see?
