Designer Sunman Kwon’s touchscreen phone is almost like any other. The thing that really sets it apart is the addition of a detachable Bluetooth headset.
Called the Mooon+, the phone essentially acts as a convenient carrying case for your headset. While attached to the phone, the headset’s battery is charged up.
When a call comes in, simply pop the headset off the phone, rotate the earphone into position, and chat away handsfree.
This is a great concept that would go well with many existing touchscreen phones today. Having an attached headset means never forgetting it but never having to remember about it as well. It’s simply always there, ready for a phone call at any time. This is one concept that we hope to see make it to the market. More pictures after the jump. Read more »

Designer Reuben Png brings us the D:Scribe, a digital fountain pen that can email and SMS anything that you write on paper. All that’s required is a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone.
The D:Scribe is just a concept, but it has a lot of potential (assuming, that is, that we have the technology to make one of these). It can record anything you scribble on paper, including drawings, and send them or save them for viewing later. Once a message is sent, the D:Scribe displays its status on the built-in OLED screen.
The design is loosely based on a quill and inkwell - the quill is the pen and the inkwell is an electromagnetic induction charger to juice up the pen when needed.
D:Scribe looks and sounds great, but unfortunately it’s not real. At least, for now.

This glove, designed by Du Tran Nguyen at Monash University, turns the back of your hand into a GPS receiver created to allow you to track your position at all times on its e-paper display.
It is designed for athletes, mainly runners, to be able to plan out routes and track their speed and other relevant information. Feedback from the glove on the display or from a vibrating alert can let them know if they are going too slow or too fast, or if there is a turn coming up. The system is fully customizable.
The glove can also communicate with other Vies via Bluetooth as well as send out an SOS in case of an emergency.
Although it certainly looks cool, we doubt many people have a necessity for a glove like the Vie. However, some rich runners could definitely benefit from a gadget like this.

Glove manufacturer Swany recently unveiled the G-CELL, a glove with an integrated Bluetooth cell phone connection.
The glove comes packed with all of the regular Bluetooth headset features right on your hand: a microphone and speaker, call and end buttons, and a light and vibration function that indicate incoming calls. The G-CELL also boasts 240 hours standby and 48 hours talk time.
Although probably not the hottest of fashions, this glove is perfect for use while hitting the slopes, especially considering that it’s waterproof. Skiers and snowboarders can finally use their cell phones without digging around in a bulky jacket for a few minutes.
At the moment the glove is only in its concept form with a few made for testing. However, it seems that Swany intends to manufacture the G-CELL. The price is not set yet, but expect an empty wallet after you buy a pair of these.
