Art.Lebedev designs sexy less-is-more cell phone
We're big fans of the designers at Art.Lebedev studios. For their next trick, the creators of that hyper-ambitious keyboard with a video screen behind every key are trying their hands at a touchscreen cell phone. Its simple yet functional design pumps up the elegance but stays grounded with utility at the same time. We like it a lot.
It's tech-current, too, with support for WiMAX, Wi-Fi and all the latest cell phone protocols, and hey, unlike that first-gen T-Mobile G1 Android phone, it even has a headphone jack. It's also ready for video conferencing with video cameras on the front and back. Looks like fertile ground for that Google Android operating system. Click on Continue for one more closeup of this sexy cellie.

Oh gee look another iphone killer.. what a load.. its an iphone wanna be and even with anal-droid it will still suck!
developers need to evolve beyond current designs. The iphone isn't so popular because is a phone.. its a new device entirely.. thinking outside the box is what made the iphone the hit it is.. the android will capture the same market that linux does now.. for people who wont admit the mainstream market supports the best device.

GEE the world is now safer still!! We really needed yet another PHONE with pitchers and movies that people will be trying to br using while driving and even slowing trafic down more! These wonders may speed up work and play but if users cause crashes and it takes an additional half hour to get there because of those messy crashes and slows the drivers down more is that really an improvement? How about comming up with something that doesnt distract us to play with now that wou;d be an improvement!!!
on your cellphone!
