Just imagine the possibilities of a device like the CollapseMini, offering a plethora of impressive functions without the presence of cables or buttons. All that you have to do is place your smartphone on its glass upper surface and the gadget will know exactly what to do.
Conceived for Android compatibility, the all-in-one docking station and sound system would presumably prove useful with tablets too. With your media-packed device set down on top, Matteo Massimi's invention would automatically begin replenishing the battery and playing the audio stored in the library.
If you're wondering how you exercise commands, that feature is innovative as well. Turn your mobile phone slightly to the right or the left to adjust the volume that's emitted from the high-quality speakers of the CollapseMini.
