Simplicity is hip

"Philips has created a buzz with the anouncement of some exciting new smart concept products and ideas that target the hip lifestyle consumer, which means you. The products include: THE CHAMELEON, a lamp shade that changes to match any color you 'show' it. MOMENTO stores the most cherished moments, recorded as short movie clips, and replays them as floating magical fragments in a glass ball. HERBARIUM, an intelligent greenhouse designed to provide the best climate for growing health-giving herbs from smart seed pads. LED Bulbs can be (re) adjusted by twisting for the color and atmosphere right at the source." from the cool hunter

Note: Now that Blogger has an easy interface for del.icio.us tags, we'll be adding them to posts. The biggest advantage will be that the first tag will either be concept or product to help differentiate between things on sale and ideas still in R&D.

The Contact Board

we make money not art: The Contact Board: "Contact Coard is an accessory for landline phones to help users manage their contacts."

There are 3 areas on the board: one to make the calls, another to edit the number and the third one to listen to messages. The user can call one of their contacts or listen to a message from that person by putting the magnets on a specific area.
