An über sexy Smartphone with three flexible AMOLED touchscreens and a keyboard on the reverse! Here’s how the Flip Phone feels like: a smart triangular piece held together with soft steel mesh hinges, frontin' a custom version of Android . Bluring the boundaries of a PC and phone has never been so great and this is a sample of what that future looks like. Parapapapa I'm lovin' it!

EF - Live The Language - London from Albin Holmqvist on Vimeo . I'm loving these typography commercials which EF have come out with. They're basic commercials promoting the idea of learning a new language. They're idea is to persuade people to go abroad to other countries and simply learn a new language. They have other videos just like this one so do check the rest of them out.

Here is a concept of a player which uses the music streaming platforim Spotify. The concept was done by a student named Jordi Parra . It obviously connects to WiFi for the music to be streamed to the device. Isn't this thing a stylish bit of kit or what? There are more pictures and a video of it after the break.

I made some changes in Minimalistic Text options since yesterday. Widgets// Time, Date, Temperature, Battery - Minimalistic Text Time, Date on lockscreen - Digital Clock Controls - SwitchPro Widget WidgetLocker Post a comment if you like this setup.

It seems as though replacement Android UI's are coming from left, right and centre. Here is another Android UI concept called Fipplr by OceanObservations. It's a great minimal text type of UI which consists of widgets. It's very clean with nice blending colours which make it look very attractive. The concept of it came from someone they met in Tokyo. There is a video after the break explaining the concept and showing how it works. I do wonder though, will any of these replacement Android UI's ever be released? We will have to wait and see.

LoveKush is a skin for Rainmeter, the idea behind it is to fully replace the Windows 7 taskbar. Current release version is 0.2 You can download the skin and keep up with versions as they're released here - Download Rainmete r and install it. - Download LoveKush here and install it. - Right-click one of your skins and add LoveKush taskbar - Now right-click the taskbar and press LoveKush and add the two remaining skins. - Right-click the taskbar and press Edit skin: Now you can see it's opened a Notepad window, here you can edit all the shortcuts. There's an example in the actual .ini file, so figuring out how to add shortcuts shouldn't be to hard. But if you do need more information or a tutorial on how to configure the skin let me know.

The mobile phone case market is huge and there is a lot of competition which means only the best will stand out. This pouch is made by HTC themselves and was made specifically for the HTC Desire (might fit the Nexus One though).

The newest kid to roam the streets of Android. Ever since getting into the Android scene Samsung has been releasing some very competitive Android devices and this has got to be one of their bests.

Samsung have some how fit all this into a 8.49mm thick shell, making it the thinnest mobile phone available to consumers. You will probably forget you even had it on you because it's so thin.

Furai which translates to "Sound of the Wind" is the name of the last concept from Mazda's Nagare line. It made its official debut at the 2008 North American International Auto Show. The racer is one of the most uniquely designed vehicles I've seen with its distinctive curves, matte grey finish, and blue highlights throughout that all seem to flow perfectly into one beautiful car. One of the most noticeable features of the Furai is its lightning like headlights and taillights that go from one side to the other. The car has moved on from being a concept and is now a fully functioning vehicle that is under testing. Make sure to check out all of the amazing pictures, as well as a video of the Mazda Furai after the break.

Here we are with another replacement for the original Android UI. Sentio is a project currently under development by Ethan Bond. It's a very clean, minimal interface with excellent visual tweaks. It's not supposed to be just a replacement launcher like LauncherPro or ADW, but a complete overhaul of the Android interface. There is a video attached which says it all.

The eRoll by Macedonian designer Dragan Trenchevski is a roll out eReader using a flexible OLED screen. Ancient scrolls were the inspiration for the eRoll according to Trenchevski. It will be very portable and convenient thanks to its screen that can simple roll up inside it to drastically change its overall size. The eRoll's design shows a glossy as well as matte black finish all around with only four buttons on the pull out end. This is a very well done concept and I'm sure we will be seeing devices like this in the near future thanks to the advancement in flexible screens. Check out all of the pictures of the eRoll after the break and hit the source link to see Dragan Trenchevski on Behance.

A very unique watch concept by Indonesian designer Raka Gemma called the Helix. Its shape and look is something never before seen in watches with a simple and futuristic design.

Automotive concept designer Marco Van Overbeeke brings us his vision for the next generation of Lamborghini Miura called the Nuovo.  The concept is not in collaboration with Lamborghini, simply a updated version of the legendary vehicle that was in production from 1966-1972. The design was made with the original original Miura in mind, combined with the modern day look of Lamborghini models. For now the concept is only in the form of a 1/5 scale model displayed in Marco Van Overbeeke's studio. Check out all the pictures of the concept after the break.

The Swedish furniture designers Mats Theselius and Andreas Roth from Minus Tio bring us the Object. It is a very simplistically designed storage unit that gives "a poetry in steel, glass, stone, wood and plastic". It's unique look gained it the title of winner of the "Wallpaper* Design Awards 2011".

Straight from Sprint's "Industry First" event is the Kyocera Echo, a dual screen Android based phone. The device houses two 3.5 inch 480x800 displays that can work either on their own, or together as a 4.7 inch 960x800 device. It will come running Android 2.2 with a 1GHz second generation Snapdragon processor. The Kyocera Echo uses a sliding liquid metal hinge to go from a normal single screened phone to the stunning dual screen display. Due to its two screens being able to work separately, you can run different apps on each to say write a text while playing a game. The device is definitely well designed for the first of its kind, and I'm sure well see many renditions of it in the future. The Kyocera Echo will be launched in the upcoming months with a pricetag of $189. Check out all the pictures of the new device after the break. Hit the source link for the official page of the Kyocera Echo as well as a link to Sprint.

Mercedes Benz has redefined the "eco" car with their Biome concept. Made from BioFibre, a material that would be grown in the Mercedes nursery, be very light, but stronger than steel. If the exterior of the Biome is not unique enough, the interior design is quite incredible too, with the driver positioned up front in the center with two passengers behind on either side, and one in the back. Don't let your hopes down on this one as Mercedes is using the Biome as inspiration for their upcoming supercar that will debut in 2015. Be sure to check out all the pictures of the Biome concept after the break. Hit the source link for the article on TopSpeed, as well as a link to Mercedes Benz.

The Denmark based automotive company, Zenvo, has brought the world something truly amazing in the form of the Zenvo ST1. As all supercars, it is built for performance, including carbon fiber body panels to make its overall weight reasonably light, and aiding in it being able to hit 0-60mph in a astounding three seconds. Features on the ST1 include adjustable racing seats, satellite navigation, keyless entry, and not to mention a supercharged as well as turbocharged engine. Owning one of these masterpieces is a real privilege as only fifteen are being made to sell, and each buyer has to be approved by Zenvo to own one. The ST1's design is nothing short of beautiful, yet it gives off a mean look from front to back. Check out all of the pictures, as well as a video after the break.
