Dead Simple: Hiranao Tsuboi LED Watch
Looking for a no-nonsense wristwatch that tells time and sets you apart from the Tag Pack? Look no further than this watch from Japanese designer Hiranao Tsuboi.

Phil Collins. We’d do anything in this world to play drums like the Genesis drummer. Maybe this concept system from Petr Hampl is a good place to start.

A company named Electrolux has come up with a concept scanner that is supposed to hook up to your toaster via USB. You pop in a design, scan it and then “print out” toast with your design on it, without the need for a breadboard. Before you totally dismiss the idea, realize that you would have the ability to print ...

PSFK has a great roundup of phones designed by the au Design Project and Yamaha. Each prototype has a unique musical ability about it. My personal favorite is Trio In Your Hand, a phone that folds out into a DJ setup. Link
