Slam Down the Receiver with iPhone (Concept)
Miss the action of slamming down the receiver when I’m so mad I don’t want to talk any more on the phone. So how about a fast-slide-to-slam-down-receiver slider? It’d be nice if there was a slamming sound when I hang up. But I hope there won’t be a chance to get mad enough to use this..

Compath.me – iPhone app design
Compath.me logo
As I mentioned on the previous post and Twitter, I became lead designer for Compath.me (I’m still freelancing on the side). Joining only in last month, I worked on almost all the designs Compath.me used to have. The best part about becoming a member of a team of Compath.me is the depth of my involvement in their projects is completely different from when I do freelancing jobs for clients. Also the CEO– Mr.Ando fully trusts on my designer’s instinct, which is also not the case for client cases.

Website Design– For desktop&smartphone

& Everything Else… (cards, fliers, flag, T-shirt, sticker, another video, etc.)
Compath.me was the first and only startup showcased in TechCocktail in SXSW. I’ve been at SXSW in Austin now, meeting lots of lots of people, having fun introducing the app. There will be press coverage after the even is over, so I’ll post updates.

There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs
There won’t be a road on the way because a road is where you walked along.
No existing road that you can see is yours.
But as long as you have a heart, you’ve gotta follow it.
I am following my heart.

iPhone & iPod Touch (w/o calendar) 640x960pxKoriko – iPhone Dock Concept
I want an iPhone dock that can change its forms reflecting various kinds of notifications needing attention as well as some simple controls for applications. The feelings you can get with that kind of tangible output & input are what touchscreen lacks.
Koriko is a simple iPhone stand with speakers and a flexible long arm (tail?).
Notifications are represented with the tail forming simple shapes.
When a song is played, it works as music control buttons you can push directly.
It not only changes forms, but also makes certain movements for some time. It waves good-bye when you turn it off.
There are so many possible other applications that would work with Koriko. It would be really fun to see it working.

Slide to …
I was really impressed with the idea of the New MIUI Lockscreen. So I thought of something fun myself. Note that this is a concept.
ABook — iPad app design
Last year I had a chance to work on the design for an iPad app “ABook” (A as a letter “A”) and its related products. ABook is an iPad application that helps you create and distribute multi-media contents for the iPad very easily. With ABook you don’t need expensive softwares or skills.
Here I introduce what I did.
The app logo: “books” as “cloud”
App screen samples

Thank you, AgenTec!
“Life is like a box of …” iPhone Wallpapers
Is it only me who is reminded of square chocolates in a box when looking at the colorful icons on the iPhone screen? No? Then here are iPhone wallpapers that make you think so.
World Cleanest Graffiti— iPhone App Concept
There are a number of drawing iPhone apps available, but I think it would be fun if you could paste the picture you draw on a real wall, but virtually.
Draw a picture with your iPhone.
Choose the wall you want to paste the picture on.
Point and paste the picture. Resizing possible.
Share it with people on an online map.
Or share with only the person you choose. And if you want someone to go to a place (physically) to see the picture, just choose “local share” only.
This is just like an old bulletin board outside and might work well if you want to convey your feeling to someone.
The images can be seen through your iPhone just like usual graffiti from any angle.
Thank you again for the great photos, *momoc.

iPetals
I like Fandi Meng‘s great “Sunny Flower” concept very much and was inspired a lot by the design.
It’s a solar charger for an iPhone. Based on Fandi’s design, I made it work also as an iPhone stand.

Post-It on Desktop Icons
This is simple and it might have been used already, but I really want to paste a post-it on a desktop icon so that I won’t forget what I should do with it. So if anybody knows a plugin like this, please let me know!!
Post-it colors, font size should be customizable just like “Stickies” (a default mac application).
Quick Look (a quick preview feature) or hover the cursor to see the enlarged image of the post-it.

iPhone Dock Sketches
iHammock
I use my iPhone at work and at home. When I’m at work in the office, I can’t make it ring loud when there’s an incoming phone call or an email, so I change the setting to the silent (vibration) mode. But when it vibrates on my desk, it makes even louder noise than a beep, so I was thinking if I could make something soft to put my iPhone on so that it doesn’t rattle when vibrating, and thought that a hammock style would be fun. It looks like your iPhone is relaxing on a hammock, so I added a parasol that works as a solar power battery charger. You open and flip the parasol in the sun to get electricity and close and fix it on the hammock to charge your iPhone.
“iHammock”?
Just for fun again.
iAcqua2
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a 3D screen that displays stereoscopic images of music visualizer and stocked photos when your iPhone is docked? It’s like a combination of my old ideas (snow globe screen and iAcqua).
3D screen and a speaker
Cover flow in the water flow?
OC
This one tilts a bit when your iPhone is docked, making the speakers and the transparent screen float.
It tells you when there’s a phone call and an email by rocking from side to side.

iAcqua
Maybe I’m into projector concepts.
It’s an iPhone stand with a transparent touch screen, speaker and projector.
Dock your iPhone at the top.
Tilt it slowly to either side and your photos, songs or movies start running one after another at random like water coming out from a fountain. Each image will disappear in a few seconds. You can touch a photo to see it, a movie to play and a music icon to play the song.
Now turn up the faucet and when the dish is full, the images will be spilled on the floor, which are actually projection from the stand. You can also tilt the stand to spill images little by little to a certain direction.
And now you can play with larger images.
When you play music, you can see the visualizer working. Spill the visualizer on the floor and you see “full-screen” projected visualizer!

Best of 2008
With so many things that happened at the end of this year, I couldn’t make many posts this month. My updating pace will be unpredictable in 2009 as well, but I hope I can have more fun than this year.
By designing stuff for this blog, I learned a lot about design, so next year, I’ll try something new again. I’m thinking of make animation of the devices I make to post them on YouTube. Not sure if I really can, but I want to try that. Oh, one more thing. I really want to do something more tangible, not just creating stuff on the web.
Anyway, I truly appreciate your support. Here are the 20 posts you liked the best in 2008.

I will be able to make a few big announcements next year, so please come back to check them out.
Swing, Charge & Study
Swing this many times and you get some electricity to charge your iPhone. This time, its motion censor sends your form data to your iPhone so that you can see your own golf swing animated.
Compare your form with that of Tiger Woods?
Caution: Make sure you are not too close to anyone when playing.

Time-Telling Vibration
This is the mobile phone version of “Touch ‘n’ Know The Time”. Many people use their mobile phones as alarm clocks (including myself), so this might be a little help.
In short, you squeeze the phone and it vibrates for a second. The more “vigorously” it moves, the sooner it is until the set time. So you can FEEL how much more you can sleep without opening your eyes to check what time it is. Oh how lazy we can be!

Oh, this phone? Yeah I thought you’d ask.
If you are ever able to completely customize your mobile phone on a website or something when ordering one, I’ll definitely make mine something like this. Does it remind you of one brand?
By the way, I heard my ideas (fireworks projection and handgrip charger) were introduced in a British TV “Richard & Judy” and a Colombian newspaper “El Tiempo”. Is there a way I can take a look at them???

Black Hole on Desktop
Throw your trash into this black hole and it’ll be completely gone. You don’t even have to do the “empty trash”. Extremely dangerous. Just a joke.
