Designer Shirley A. Roberts came up with this sleek-looking and elegant concept design for a pre-paid and disposable mobile that you can wrap around your wrist as you would a watch.
The wrap-around mobile phone is simple and devoid of all those little annoying features that burden most concept mobiles. The design is very attractive and the device would come in handy in times of distress and emergency.
And most of us know what time it is.
Implications - This phone is a simple and non-pretentious way of showing you prefer form over function. It's only a matter of time before companies begin to develop a slew of products like this, aimed at young consumers with an eye for disposable products.
Shirley A. Roberts, this is what I call striking gold.
