Through the looking glass
It is increasingly commonplace to see the sleek iconic black mobile phone better known as the iPhone on the palms of people around you. If you are an advocate of all things Apple(including or excluding the fruit), you might have already caught up with the hype by adding the latest iPhone 4 to your collection of Apple-tizing gadgetry.
However, if you belong to the smaller group of trendsetters who refuse to follow the crowd, here is something else that might appeal. While we know that most modern phones now come with a weather indicator, how about getting one that literally does a show-and-tell?
Look Ma, my hand!
Designed by Seunghan Song, the Window Phone, as the name suggests, has a transparent interface such that you can see through it and even stare through at your own palm while holding it.
With a clever glass interface that promises to predict your local climate accurately – rain, shine, and even snow, you probably never need to turn on the news for the weather forecast anymore.
Frosty. Feeling the cool-ness yet?
Remember the days where you used to inscribe legible alphabet letters(or so you think) on cold glass windows? Now, you can relive that childhood “fantasy” of yours by using the text message mode.
And if you already have a fetish for blowing on glass windows, you can exhale on the phone’s surface to trigger the handwriting mode. I bet you did not know that your breath could be that “kinetic” after all!
So yes. With the influx of iPhones and Apple gizmos, holding a glass pane would definitely make you stand out from the crowd on the subway or on the streets.
Whether you are an aspiring meteorologist or someone who likes unusual technology, we assure you that you will never forget about your brollie again.
And in case you do, we will get Rihanna to remind you. Ok, we are kidding.
