The Liteon Concept

— March 11, 2007 — Art & Design
The Liteon concept cell phone by Tao Ma is a stylish bracelet as well as a phone. While it is asthetically-pleasing, I rate it a zero on the functionality meter. Traditionally, a clasp bracelet such as this one can be difficult to remove. If you were in a hurry to answer this phone, you might not be able to get it open in time. As well, you might want to pack a screwdriver to push the miniature, tricked-out, be-jeweled buttons. There is even the possibility you might break a nail, so this phone hardly seems functional for the style diva.
