Mr. Jeremy Hopkins sure has a creative idea on developing phones, and integrating funky design cues along the way. The Nokia Kinetic Concept sure is a looker, but when you look at its back, the bulky ass just killed the design. Perhaps taking a cue from those inflatable clown punching bags that would always right themselves thanks to a special weight, Mr. Hopkins has designed the Nokia Kinetic to do pretty much the exact same thing when you wanna reject a call. Just push them like a doll, and the call will get rejected, and the phone is ready to get your next caller again when it swings back to the idle position. Lame design right? The concept might look sleek, but with a bottom so huge, it sure won’t fit inside my snug pocket.

Pedro Gomes has designed the Sleepy Alarm clock concept that allows you to sleep a little bit longer every morning. Using this alarm clock, you can activate the snooze mode by simply moving the ball back and forth. A cute way to snooze your alarm clock early in the morning, though I think this product should be banned for lazy people like me. This alarm clock also features a cute design that will fit perfectly in the children’s room. Not very sharp, but then I still think it looks like a harmless weapon.
