Sony VAIO Pocket

The soon to be officially smallest notebook in Sony's line will have an unspecified 1.33Ghz processor, which is probably an Atom. More interestingly is the razor-sharp 1600x768 pixel screen on an 8-inch LED backlit screen. It'll also have the option of either a 60GB HDD or, strangely, a 128GB SSD module. I believe this is the first notebook I've seen that can be configured in SSD sizes larger than what's available in traditional drives. Battery and pricing are filled in as "X' and "NaN", still yet to be determined. It'll come in red, silver-painted plastic and black.

Moto Multi Navigation System

Moto is a Multi Navigation System designed by Jeongmin Ok, who takes inspiration from the design of a compass. According to Ok, a compass symbolizes accuracy, a device that never lets you down and guides you all the way to your destination. Interestingly Moto also means movement in Italian, and this baby really holds all the right moves. It features Bluetooth and a camera for wireless communication. The 3.5" touchscreen can be viewed in two modes, one with the actual visual of the street and the direction to be followed. And the other shows you the direction without the frills.

Moto boasts of a strong aluminum die casting frame that pack in the goodies neatly. The push button docking system latches onto your dashboard conveniently. There is a hidden slot on the rim that holds a MicroSD-card slot, earphones and power inputs. The only grouse is that it's still a concept.

Ferrari creates the F1 inspired concept car Zobin

This single-seater aerodynamic sports car takes inspiration from the Ferrari Formula 1 originals. The dimensions on this swanky racer measure 4,114mm long and 1,855 mm wide, which is quite neat. Highlighting the front structure with a metal band, which supports the headlights, the band amalgamates the front spoiler and the front fenders to give the car an "open-wheels" look. A compact unit mounted in mid-rear position provides the juice for the racer and increases it's efficiency as well.

Sony Ericsson concepts gets sexier

J. Havarlant is a designer who dedicates all his energies towards churning out sexy Sony Ericsson concept phones. His feast for Christmas includes a slew of SE designs in the T, P and W series. Getting details on these phones is a bit tricky but we can state the evident. Lets start with the T903 Rugya.

This one is a sleek slider with red highlights. It sports a 8.1- megapixel camera and is inspired by the gorgeous Rugya car. The P912 boasts of a single large screen with only two buttons on the face. What makes the touchscreen P905 very interesting is that it proposes an Android platform, looks like a smooth iPhone but hosts a side-slider QWERTY keyboard.



Besides a huge touchscreen, there is nothing much to write about the SE P902 Retro. However the musically inclined will appreciate the W905, which is a Walkman phone. Sporting a large Slider screen, it also has a 5.0-megapixel camera and quick easy-access buttons on the side. Wish we had more details on these awesome phones, but since they are concepts, there's no stopping our imaginations…we can wish for what we want!

Cypres Mobile Phone by Nao Tamura

When the technology evolves and its appearance is reduced, a new space is born between us and the mobile phone. From the mobile phone to the pendant, from the pendant to the mobile phone; various possibilities are created utilizing a “bluetooth” connection. A mobile phone packed with information and precision parts emerges in a new space.

As I find the view of a snow-covered town beautiful, when a colorful and precise semi-conductor material is covered with one skin, it shows a new expression. The optics which emerge from the surface is a decor that is precisely worked. Not decorating cosmetically, but changing the expression of what is originally there. I want you to feel a new expression of the cellular phone.

Last Drop Martini Glass by Lee Fain

The idea behind this concept is, good to the last drop. A dark blue “Gin Droplet” is suspended in the middle of the glass thus, enabling the user to have an eternal experience of the “last drop”. I wanted the glass to look like it was being attracted to the bottle. Raw material include tinted blue glass with a dark smoke gradient, 24k gold rim and a cap base.

New Toyota Camry

Toyota's best selling family sedan, the Camry is being re-worked for a 2011 launch. The new Camry has broken cover in a Japanese auto magazine which shows a sportier theme with sharp head lights, large grille, aggressively designed body panels and a taut body. While the new accord has taken the lead from the current Camry, the new model when launched will try to take back the mantle. Speculations indicate that the new Toyota Camry

Nano Mobile Phone by Roman Kriheli

It is a concept of a mobile phone developed basing on the most modern technologies. The entire face surface of this phone is a colour sensor display 4.2 in. in diagonal (a TFT-matrix of 700 times; 266 pixels) protected with a 2-mm transparent plastic shield.

Buttons appearing on the display are 13 in diameter. They are convenient to press with a finger. Besides the virtual controls, the telephone is equipped with a joystick. The standard position of the phone is vertical, but it can be turned horizontally when watching video. The joystick and the on/off button are of metal. The loudspeaker is located immediately between the sensor surface and the display.

The telephone will support GSM networks (900, 1800, 1900) as well as the 3G networks (the third generation). A wireless data exchange feature (Bluetooth 2) is provided to enable synchronization with a computer. A fuel cell-based battery feeds the telephone with electricity. The battery is charged by a wireless means: the phone should just be laid on a special pad connected to the electricity supply network (the SplashPower technology).
