Tokyo University has developed a new interface for cellphones… one that is kinda awkward but at least would make the cellphone less fingerprint prone.
It’s like touchscreen without the “touch”!
Still, looks hard to use for typing… and it’s another step away from giving a touch feedback with is the number one advantage of keyboards.
Could be nice for some functions though… like flipping through images and stuff.
First time I saw this pic I tried to find out who’s the owner of this very awesome iPhone theme but couldn’t, so I gave up posting.
Greatest iPhone Theme
As Gizmodo published it again, I gave up trying to find out who the guy is and just decided posting it… because it’s so damn hilarious!
See if you can understand each icon… xD
The best part is that they are really all the same pic, but photoshopped one by one to fit the category… awesome!
Yann Tiersen used 6 iPhones to complete a piano keyboard (or almost):
And used them to play (after having lots of trouble receiving calls and stuff) Comptine D’un Autre Ete: L’apres from Amélie (Le Fabuleux Destin d’Amélie Poulain) soundtrack.

This Public Service Announcement from City Harvest looks pretty interesting:
And before someone question it, the apples aren’t real (it’s all Computer Graphics) and the video was shot with an iPhone 3GS.

If you’re willing to contribute to the organization, pay a visit to City Harvest’s website!
While Mirror’s Edge fans keep waiting for the second game to come, at least the iPhone owners will be able to have a taste of it:
Interesting 2.5D platformer (3D graphics with 2D gameplay) with the same principles and ideas.
Looks nice… but as with most iPhone games, I always wonder about the controls…
To be released in January 2010.
Nissan has developed a self-healing paint for their cars which works like this:
Dunno how we can expect that to work in real life, but for car fans, I’m shure this would be awesome… having a car paint with Wolverine like healing factor.
Japanese cellphone giant NTT DoCoMo announced that they licensed the technology and will soon be applying it to their cellphones, which from my experience is a great idea since I’ve seen too many completely scratched cellphones out there, mine included.
I dunno how soon fathers and mothers want their small children to get in contact with gadgets and the addiction they’ll generate, but at least this PhoneBook idea looks really good on video:
And what’s not to like on a father having fun with his kid, right?
I only fear for the heavy consumer geeky Apple fanboy-ish future of the baby… (just kidding)
This isn’t the first time I’ve seen a project of a iPhone driven car, but it’s very interesting and also has instruction for those trying to do the same:
