If you're so attached to your mobile phone that you walk around with it in your hand, why not try a concept like the Watch-Me on for size? This is Kwan Yoo's idea for a futuristic smart watch that brings conversation and information right to your wrist.
The designer explains that for a gadget to be rightly considered "wearable," it must be comfortable and it mustn't interfere with the user's movements. This product would be a slim and sleek strap that would wrap flexibly around one's arm with a belt-like band. The majority of the visible strip would be a malleable touchscreen interface that displays the time and a few of one's favorite apps. The Watch-Me smartwatch would receive text messages, emails and more, plus it could display the realtime look of the weather as a simulated background.
