Timetable adds more ‘visuals’ to meeting tables

A fantastic idea by Wieden + Kennedy has given some hope to all those dragged executives who face a lifetime of meetings. Besides snoring through the whole dragged explanation about what caused the economic slide last quarter, they have come out with a new design for a meeting table that has 10 RGB LED panels that broadly divide the meeting into 10 sections. Each panel lights up and plays a sound, thus determining every tenth of the meeting. The panels are sequentially switched off as time passes by.

LG’s first Android phone will have 5 MP camera, 3G

Keeping alive the hopes of an Android offering from their garage, LG drives forth their first venture with a bit of veil still hanging over it. Besides the pseudo name, ‘Etna’, and the bunch of tempting specs we don’t have too much to lean back on for more on this one. It’s a QWERTY slider with a 5 megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi and 3G. The other suspects make it into the spec sheet comfortably. The keypad looks good and so does the 3 inch touchscreen. Fans will still have the mystery of the GW880 in mind as they hope for another Android wonder.

HTC Tattoo is anything but a needle impression

When you name something ‘tattoo’ you can well expect sharp edges or sweet, aesthetic design to be the driving force in its appearance. However, HTC think completely otherwise, atleast as far as design is concerned. Their new offering a. k. a. the Tattoo is sleeker than anything they’ve offered before. The buttons are placed gently along the palm area of the phone and the circular trackball (is it?) gives a serene impression on first look. The specs include 3.2 megapixel, 3.5 mm headset jack and a microSD expansion slot. The HTC Tattoo should be expected by October this year in Europe.

Soak in Nirvana Bathtub and float in galaxy

Bathtubs come in many shapes and sizes, tagged with haunting price tags. Red Diamondtub is too gaudy for my taste and why would I need a Bullet proof tub? But I certainly am dreaming about soaking in the Nirvana Bathtub. Shaped out of i-Crylic, a translucent acrylic layer, it features 360 LED lights that glow to mesmerize all. Such an illumination fitting renders chromotherapy too. Designed and manufactured by Bangkok based Bathroom Design, it is also a winner of Product Design Award at Red Dot 2009. And it not only boasts of looks to kill but also claims to save 60% water than its counterparts. Ergonomically shaped, it appears to be made out of single piece. Also the control system is discreetly integrated beneath the bathtub to avoid any disturbance in its seamless form.

The next generation Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Gullwig

A Merc is always a class apart. Yup! No doubt about it! And getting back to it, Mercedez-Benz has spilled the beans on the highly-anticipated, mouth-drooling SLS AMG which is going to take the iconic 300SL Gullwig to the next generation. At the first look, it has a retro-inspired shape but does contain unique design elements. To start with, you can choose from nine different paint shades including two matte finishes. The head lamps and taillights are LED so that means your beauty is visible at all times for the public to drool on. The cockpit of the car is airplane-inspired. Nappa leather, real metal trims and optional real carbon fiber helps to set the interior apart from the traditional offerings and Mercedes-Benz will be offering you five interior shades to choose from for personalizing the interior. The gullwing doors, a direct link to the 300SL, swing up 70 degrees to allow for access to the interior.
