Q-Sound Solar Bluetooth Headphones Are Pleasingly Future-y

I've got to give this Q-Sound headphone concept from Shepeleff Stephen top marks for its design. Not only does it look great, it is also innovative in its use of solar technology.

After all, it makes sense to power Bluetooth headphones with a small solar panel stretched across the headband�an area that could be easily exposed to the sun. Outside of that, the Q-Sound would also be able to handle calls or plug into a 3.5mm jack should the need arise. All-in-all the Q-Sound is a great idea�a concept I can definitely see transitioning into a real-world product. [Ecofriend�via�Gizmag�via�Ubergizmo]

MID Concept Gets An "A" For Awesome Design

via�Gizmodo�by Sean Fallon on 4/30/09

To be honest, I'm not really into netbooks. I'm looking for an internet device that is more than just a really tiny laptop. This MID concept seems to be a step in the right direction.

Right off the bat it is plain to see that this thing just looks good. It's designed more like a slider phone�which opens up portable possibilities beyond that of a simple netbook. Plus, the proposed features are actually realistic: QWERTY keyboard with trackball, wide LCD touchscreen, 7 "action buttons" that can be used when the device is closed, two USB slots, microphone and audio input, SD card reader, stereo speakers and docking connector.

Again, the MID is only a concept, but I can see how people might dig it if it became a real world product. [Yanko]
