PC on your Wrist
The INFO Live Bracelet Concept
INFO Live is a bracelet PC concept that merges smartphone, a mobile device and a PC into a pretty, fashionable accessory. INFO Live is one of the concepts that emerged from the 2008 Next-Gen PC Design Competition that ended in February. Right now this is just a pretty bracelet. Gearfuse says, "Use the 55 x 20 x 180mm touch-controlled INFO Live device for Internet connectivity, data transferring to other wireless-enabled devices, storing tons of data, reading and receiving the latest news, e-mails, messages, sharing documents in real-time, watching videos, listening to some tunes and even writing new documents while mobile. The specifics are sort of hazy, but who cares about mechanics when it's so damn pretty."
