The Lephone, along with its detachable keyboard, looks absolutely gorgeous and by the look of it, the experience continues with the heavily customized Android UI it runs. The phone currently sports an only for China label but this should and most likely would make it to other markets. While we do not know much about the internals of this device, we do know it has a 3.7-inch AMOLED display and a very ovoid look (like that of the Palm Pre). It also has a chrome strip running along its edges, giving it a classier touch.
A Huge Amphibious Garden Cleaning Waters Across Europe
From VCA Date: Tue 01/12/2010 Tag: Appliances, Innovative

From Vincent Callebaut Architects, this impressive project is meant to navigate through the rivers in Europe in order to clean water and make it drinkable. Its name comes from “Physalia physalis”, meaning “water bubble”. It is a project whose idea came from a major global issue which is the fact that one billion people nowadays don’t have access to drinking water. The giant bubble will actually be a floating garden, completely independent in terms of energy. It is said that the prototype will even make more energy than that consumed. Solar cells and a double pneumatic membrane will form the roof of the construction and similar technologies will be used in order to reach its energy goal. Inside there will be four amazing gardens called “Water”, “Earth”, “Fire” and “Air”. The giant Eco gadget, once built, will be present on the waters of Seine, Thames, Volga, Danube, Escaut. We do not know when this incredible looking structure will be let lose, however we are looking forward to it.

We all know the iPhone is a revolutionary piece of tech and we all know it will be challenged from time to time. However, it just doesn’t seem that anyone has come close to being as revolutionary as the iPhone has been … they all take some piece of the iPhone’s UI, tweak it, add some stuff then wrap it in a fancy ad campaign. But the fact is, besides multitasking, no one has changed the game like the iPhone.We’ll see how the phone does when the specs and design are finalized. My only question is, what if you’re a lefty?

Lenovo’s IdeaPad U1 Hybrid sports a truly innovative design
From Tomsguide Date: Sun 01/10/2010 Tag: Innovative, Laptops, Product Design, Technology

CES , Lenovo made its biggest splash since it acquired IBM’s PC division in 2005. Among the company’s new product announcements was the Ideapad U1 Hybrid–a category-busting laptop designed for the age of Transformers. From the outside, it looks like a curvy 11.6-inch netbook. But once you open it, you realize the screen pops right out of the body. When you hold the screen in your hands it becomes a touch screen tablet. Presto change-o. Yet, it gets better: when the screen is attached to the body of the netbook, it operates as a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 and a 128GB solid state drive. But the screen is outside the body, it operates as an independent tablet computer, complete with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a Linux OS, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of flash memory. The 2-for-1 U1 won’t ship to consumers until June, and should sell for about $1,000.
