Just when you thought iPods couldn’t get any smaller, designer Gopinath Prasana has came up with yet another eye-candy concept for an iPod called iBangle. With a huge possibility to be the next generation of the iPod family, his concept has transformed Apple’s iPod into a sleek thin aluminum bracelet. With an inflatable air chamber to adjust to different wrist sizes and wireless in-ear headphones, this little beauty can definitely be a big hit with the fashionably forward consumers around the world. But will consumers  only consider this as a girl’s accessory? Does this have enough unisex appeal to it? Mind you, I can see Kanye West wearing this in 18k white gold with added 14k diamonds around it. posted by Rodrigo

Compared to the usual projection of static images we’ve seen around…

I’m sure you’ve all seen or used Cooliris by now, but if not it a rather sexy way of shopping and browsing pics and videos. Just thought I’d get it up here to spark some thinking about the way we browses multiple items e.g. order tickets, instruments, charts, videos etc…
