Shaken, Not Stirred

The Bello PMP concept by designer Ryan Han looks to be just another touchscreen doodad currently flooding the market but upon closer inspection, it does a lot more.

First off the simplicity in the design is quite gorgeous in an understated way. The entire surface is a touchscreen framed in a glass bezel. Finger swipes and flicks ala iPod Touch navigate across menus but the Bello ups the ante by integrating hand gestures for deeper controls.

For example when you shake the Bello, all you personal files change into little icons that can be stacked and organized. It beats having to drill down thru 2-3 steps of menus. Perhaps the coolest feature is what I call "teapotting." Simply gesture as if you're pouring tea over another Bello to initiate a file transfer. Bravo!

It's "ups the ante" not "ups the anti," you twat.

^^^ Someone needs to go hug a Care Bear or something.

Very nice stuff!

this looks like a "concept" that could be programmed for a newer smart phone.

i try to be positive but this is really useless - its a ripoff of other ideas, and the worst part - you haven't BUILT it yet.
