Darla Mack just bumped in to this … thing I suppose I should call it.
This has got to be the craziest mobile phone design ever! It was designed by Jack Godfrey Wood, a student at St Martin’s College of Art and Design, on behalf of Nokia. The idea behind the “allmyfriends†bead bracelet design is that you create your own little personalised beads (in an “allmyfriends†booth) that you can hand out freely to all your friends. Once added to your bracelet you make a call by squeezing the relevant avatar-esque bead. When the call comes in, the bead on your bracelet will light up, and you can take the call using the accompanying ring, which includes a mic and also acts as a receiver, sending sounds up your cupped hand to your ear.
I’m not digging this at all! Blame the Y chromosome.

It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team.
