Mobile Computer, a Portable Powerhouse
07/06/2011 19:11
Slider is an ultra mobile computer concept that’s got all the specs you need to take your work on the road, at all times. Created by designer Sean Bovee, this device comes with a 9 inch touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard that’s unveiled by flipping the screen and much more.
Slider supports mobile video streaming, that’s lag-free and it also comes with VoIP video chat, 1GB of RAM memory and a 1.5GHz processor. I’m really curious to see how resilient the hinge of this device will be, in case it becomes real. Another issue is the battery life, since the device can only operate for 4 to 7 hours.
The above-mentioned screen is an OLED one and you should know that the mobile computer’s specs list also includes, Bluetooth, WiFi, 4 USB ports and an 80GB SSD.

Since concept phone designers seem to be on holiday, we’ve decided to show you a bunch of mini-notebook prototypes, created by Freescale. The Smartbook concept includes 6 prototypes, modular devices based on ARM CPUs and sporting uber long battery lives.
The compact smartbooks below look great and it turns out that they’re durable and come with great functionality. I’m really impressed by the concept below, that probably packs a touchscreen, a pretty interesting keyboard and an innovative interface. Is it practical enough to make the cut?
These devices are all about productivity, so they deserve to be dubbed “workbooks”.

Compenion UMPC Concept Has Everything You Need
07/06/2011 19:07
After so many tiny concept phones, one must up the stakes a notch and take a plunge into the UMPC world. Leave all Apple and Intel concepts behind and take a look at Mr. Felix Schmidberger’s design below, a beautiful UMPC designed for businessmen in their 30s with families and a passion for home cinema systems.
The device bears the name of “Compenion” and is accompanied by context-oriented docking stations. For example, you’ll use the UMPC with a home entertainment station for your living room, as it comes with an embedded laser projector and the device’s stylus can be used as a remote. This pen is not a regular one, but rather a “senstylus” with 2 action buttons up front and a thumb sensor field at the back.
You can even use this accessory as a remote by turning it around or write with the “senstylus” like with the average pen directly on the OLED touchscreen. The display above is a sliding one, which hides another OLED touchscreen beneath, showing the virtual QWERTY keyboard. Will we see this perfect UMPC hitting the market before 2015?
Hopefully, not with Vista…

Spark UMPC Might Be the Next OLPC
07/06/2011 19:03
We usually show you concepts designed for rich teenagers or other similar stylish handsets that would rule the market in the West. However, we must take into account that affordability is a key factor in third world countries, so any concept that resembles the OLPC is welcome.
The Spark UMPC was created by Project Inkwell and Ideo and it’s destined to reach the poorer countries and specially children.
It comes with a wide screen display, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a full QWERTY keypad and wireless mouse and it should be used by children under 12. The Spark will be the ideal educational tool and a much cheaper one than the OLPC, I suppose. Now let it be real and pass the design phase!

Life Portable Devices, Concepts
07/06/2011 19:02
After seeing that interesting MySpace Mobile, there’s another device that catches my attention on Flickr, a series of devices to be more precise. The only thing is that I’m not sure whether they’re concepts or real items shown in the picture below. The Life range of gadgets includes an UMPC, an eBook reader and a portable media centre.
The dynamic trio seems to be touchscreen-based and the UMPC comes with Mozilla Firefox, while the media centre seems ready to store more than a playlist of songs.
