A wide (and delicious) world of cell phone dangles

Kent German | May 02, 2008

A trip over to the Japanese Web site Strapya-world.com is always entertaining. The sheer variety of cell phone dangles is mind-blowing with everything from tiny vacuum cleaners called Henry to the expected Hello Kitty characters. The food section is particularly interesting with dangles representing just above every aspect of eating including breakfast, dessert, and drinks. Best of all, the site includes both international and Japanese food. In the latter category, we told you already about the sushi dangles, but today I found miniature bowls of udon. Maybe like udon itself they can be a great way to pass a cold, rainy day. The udon dangle is US$4.15.

While the oddest dangle on Strapya remains the "unko" dangle, my new favorite is the little Shinkansen (bullet trains). Not that I'd buy a cell phone dangle, but I think they're cute just the same. I'm also a fan if the Lego-like USB drive.

Because bikers need distractions too

Mike Yamamoto | May 02, 2008

Why should car drivers be the only ones to enjoy watching video on the road? As cyclists acquire more rights, they should also be able to distract themselves as effectively as their motorist counteparts.

The "iPhone Bike Mount" is supposedly designed to make it easier to control the device for music and phone controls on handlebars, but we fear that it might simply add to the growing list of eye-averting gadgetry that has made commuting a multi-tasking adventure for many afflicted with dangerously short attention spans. The bracket can rotate 360 degrees so the screen can be seen at any angle desired for optimal viewing of the iPhone, media player, or any other device that will fit in its adjustable arms. Just be ready with an excuse in case you get into an accident.

Did Chanel know about the Chanel Choco phone?

Damian Koh | May 01, 2008

The Chanel Choco phone was conjured up by designer Fred de Garilhe, and apparently, Chanel had nothing to do with this conceptual design. No matter since what we geeks are more interested in is how it works, right?

According to what we understand, the phone is made of two movable parts. When you slide up the right-most column on the 4-by-4 design, it reveals the keypad as well as the screen. The internal optical-fiber system then projects the visual components, such as the digits on the keypad, onto the relevant parts made of still glass.

Doesn't everything sound like a brilliant idea when it is still a concept?
