Radio Ga Ga
Flexio is this really awesome radio that’s solar powered and portable. I’m willing to overlook the “only one fixed FM channel” stand for the cute little paper packaging it comes in. I’m sure the dynamics of manufacturing this are going to be reasonable, because one can even use it for promotions and gifts…like ask someone to advertise on its package. The innovative factor comes from the flexible speaker & flexible solar cell. It’s designed to be used within the station-waves range, but could be modified to receive internet radio via WiFi or WiMax. Designers: Wu Kun-chia, Wang Shih-ju, Chen Ming-daw & Liou Chang-ho

These batteries can be then removed and used to charge basics like cellphones and MP3 players. At home, the battery units can be inserted into an “Application Built-in Type” and stored. The “Application” units perform the roles of storing and supplyin

Phone Fashion
The trend in concept phones these days is turning retro, which is why we have the “Dial” reminisce the era of the round-dials on phones. The difference however lies in the present concept being touted as a fashion accessory that can be crafted in the metal of choice; giving you the luxury of being, chic, sporty, or uber-rich. A projected light beam in the inner circle impersonates the rotary dial, but to dial a number you need to simply touch it. Quite interesting. Designer: Jung Dae Hoon
