Collapsible surfboard

There is quite an obvious tendency to make small and portable things. Apartments and cars, everything becomes compact. As a consequence, it seems that your surfboard occupies more and more space. Maybe it's possible to decrease somehow its size? Nicholas Notara who has decided to devote some time to the problem thinks that there is a way to do so.

Created gadget represents a collapsible surfboard. This carbon fiber board has been carefully designed to maintain the balance and weight of its traditional counterpart, but with the help of two pins and a quick release lever can be twice decreased in size. Moreover there is a significant variety of fins that can both help you change board's appearance and improve its manageability. In spite of the fact that this board is a collapsible one, it's notable for its durability.

Thus, I think that given gadget can be considered as a viable concept that may make a surfboard purchase not such a bad idea. Furthermore many surfers will like its stylish design with something aggressive in it.

Chute - natural smartphone

Everybody has already get accustomed to the fact that almost all modern devices are made of metal, plastic and glass. These materials are considered to be synonyms of the "high-tech" word because they help devices to look stylish and up-to-date. In spite of this some people think that such devices are too cold and stark, and as a consequence, want them to be warm and natural. Taking into consideration this fact Michael Laut decided to create a natural smartphone.

His gadget named the Chute smartphone represents an outstanding attempt of combining natural materials and modern technologies. Thus, in addition to the fact that given concept is quite a powerful and functional one, like any other ordinary smartphone, its shell is made of bamboo, a high sustainable resource. It's a well-known fact that bamboo is much lighter and stronger than plastic. Moreover it's totally biodegradable and far more Earth friendly in its production than plastics and metals. So it seems that hardly an environmentalist would have something against this gadget.

On the other hand it should be mentioned that some customers would probably be slightly disappointed with its characteristics as they are quite ordinary ones. However the distinctive feature of this device will make it competitive enough.

Virtual keyboard idea from Nokia

Nowadays a great amount of people type something. It's not important whether it's a poem, essay, SMS or something else. Some type using their PC keyboard, others use that of their cell phones. Because of this both producers and designers try to make this process simpler by inventing various types of keyboards (for example, wireless small keyboard featuring Bluetooth).

Nokia as many others trying to invent something absolutely new and different has just filled a patent application known as "Mobile device with virtual keyboard". We can guess as much from there that the digital camera located at the back of the cell phone is used to capture the movement and position of the user's fingers, projecting them onto a virtual keyboard which is shown on the phone's display in real time.

It sounds really interesting but it's not the fact that it will be easier to type on such a virtual keyboard than on a usual one. Moreover, I think that such an application will make your cell phone's battery drained in no time, and the camera wouldn't be fast enough to capture the image of a speed typist. Another significant problem consists in the fact that there would probably be some limitations in cell phone designs as the cameras can only be placed at a certain place on the handset in order for it to work nicely.

Exclusive Vertu

At the moment many companies, focusing on the customers' needs, produce a great variety of different exclusive cell phones, which are very original and expensive. Their price varies from some thousands to million USD or even more. Yet, despite their expensiveness quite a significant amount of people buy these devices because possessing of such a unique thing emphasizes both their well-being and individuality.

Recently Vertu company that represents an affiliated undertaking of Nokia Corporation started to sell its new cell phone. Ascent Ti gadget works at 3G and four types of GSM. It has a digital camera of 3 megapixels and is made of titanium, leather and sapphire. But the main distinctive feature is an exclusive function of this cell phone. In case there is a need Ascent Ti owner can save any kind of information at the remote server. To do so he/she has just to choose the data for transmission.

All the information will be kept in a special secure place. So, if there is a necessity customer can easily restore the data. New product will be sold at quite a moderate price - 00. Actually it's not so cheap, but in comparison with the previous Vertu models - 88 and 130 thousand of US dollars, respectively - this price can be considered as a reasonable one. As far as the design of this gadget is concerned it will fit business people perfectly.

Thus, given device represents an outstanding attempt of combining quality, exclusiveness and accessibility. However, this Vertu model still remains unattainable for middle class customers.
