Chi Shing Lo has won the yearly D&AD Student Award at De Montfort University for his concept phone that does away with viewfinders and chargers.

The Hole concept phone uses the ‘hole’ for win purposes, as a replacement for the traditional viewfinder and for inductive charging technology for data transfer.

The concept design is gorgeous, makes photos a snap and charging wireless - what more do your want?

When Sony Ericsson announced the C905 as the first 8 megapixel cameraphone other manufacturer sat up and took notice and rumors are circulating that the LG KC910 will be the Korean’s response.

The rumored 8 megapixel device is said to be in readiness for an October launch and to feature Xenon flash, image stabilization, automatic face detection, record video at 720×480 pixels and 30fps, WVGA touchscreen all in a 14mm aluminum casing.

Forget Sony Ericsson, it sounds like the digital camera phone market is in for a surprise.

Long at the forefront of wacky gadgets, the Frontier Technology Research Group latest development project focuses on key-less gadgets that are controlled entirely by eye movement.

The research group for NTT DoCoMo is using a technique that allows he wearable head-mounted device to recognize electrical signals generated by eye movement to operate features such as track skipping, music volume and to ‘tell’ the camera where to focus.

While few of us would want this early prototype with us as we sashay around the Village no doubt we can expect this technology to come together in a way that will see eye-capture technology a boon for everyone, not just the motion impaired.
