Most rumours about upcoming Motorola products have focused so far on the Xplay phablet and a new DROID smartphone for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has said that it will launch a follow-up to the Moto X sometime in “late summer” but that’s essentially all we have to go on at this point. Bored after finishing up with his school work, Ramon […]

Concept Sunday: Nokia FIT phone ring
We have barely scratched the potential and promise of wearable technology to date. Smartwatches, especially the new Moto 360, are an exciting start but we all know that there is much more to come. There is no reason that wearables must be limited to our wrists. Another obvious place for wearables is our fingers. Much as many of us already […]
Concept Sunday: Pocket Aether Perambulator (Steampunk Mobile Phone)
Today’s installment of Concept Sunday features something a little different. Presenting the Pocket Æther Perambulator better known outside of the Steampunk universe as a mobile phone. Designed by Andrew James Gowland (also known as Technohippy), the flip phone opens in landscape orientation to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard and a monochrome display to view the Ætheric web and a magnetic resonance speaker/microphone. […]
Concept Sunday: Traditional design smartwatch by Gábor Balogh
The traditional watch market is a multi-billion industry that includes more than its fair share of elegant watches that can be considered fashion accessories or pieces of jewelry rather than utilitarian time-telling devices. The budding smartwatch market falls into the latter utilitarian category rather than the former, something that is likely impeding faster adoption. What if there was a smartwatch […]
Concept Sunday: Apple iFitness headphones

That apparently got enough curious that the term “Apple Fitness Headphones” suddenly began to account for a higher […]
Concept Sunday: Dual-booting HTC Babel tablet
Devices that boot into both Google Android and Windows Phone seem to have a bit of a cursed history. The Samsung ATIV Q never made it to market and the ASUS Transformer Book Duet unveiled earlier this year at CES 2014 appears to be headed for the same fate. That has not deterred Jonas Daehnert, better known as PhoneDesigner, from coming […]
Concept Sunday: Puzzle Phone modular smartphone
One of the next trends in smartphones could well be modular phones. We’ve seen concepts from Phonebloks and Motorola’s Ara project (which Google is hanging on to after the sale of Motorola to Lenovo) and ZTE. Another such concept is making its way to Mobile World Congress. As with other such designs, the idea behind the Puzzle Phone is to […]
Concept Sunday: 4.7- and 5.5-inch Apple iPhone 6
If recent rumours are any indication, Apple will launch at least one new iPhone with a larger display later this year. A 4.7-inch model is widely expected to be accompanied by an even larger 5.7-inch model (perhaps as a separate product line), marking only the second time in the iPhone’s history that the display size will increase. While nothing has […]
