Koriko – 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.

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.
petals colored with different lightness

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.

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!

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.

Google Reader? iTunes?
The new iTunes interface could be used for Google Reader.
grid view
cover flow
expanded view
By the way, I still hope iTunes will handle RSS feeds so that I can browse blogs on my iPod Touch offline.
Oops!
I just noticed I’ve forgotten to include one image in the post “My Dream Mac #2 (Macbook Touch Concept)”. Sorry!
“Move to Trash” Game
Can “move to trash” action be a game?
Only well aimed shot can get into the can. Others just mess the floor.

Just a Sketch: Shuffle?
Pretty rough one I thought of just this morning.
Thinner and narrower, but a little longer to clip on your shirt etc. easily. Mmmmm.. maybe not. I’ll make a shorter one later.
Fixed.
Would Be So Much “Phun” On iPhone!
I’m absolutely in love with Phun, a free game like 2D app for kids, where they can learn physics, science and so many other stuff.
What I think is that it would be much more fun to play it with the iPhone because you can actually tilt it to see what happens.
I happened to find a similar application called iPhysics, but I think Phun has a lot more functions and is really educational for kids.

10-Key + Calculator
There are a lot of 10-Key keyboards available, but this one goes well with the Apple’s thin wireless keyboard.
It can slide under the keyboard when you don’t use it.
When you use it as a calculator, how about “projecting” the numbers on your desk?

The Ball’s in My Court? I Was Waiting for Your Answer!
That happens very often, doesn’t it? Then why not visually check who’s turn to answer and how many answers are on hold in your Mail app?
A blue ball means “It’s MY turn to answer”, while the yellow is “I’m waiting for an answer”. If you keep ignoring a question, the ball gets bigger and bigger!
“WHO’S GOT THE BALL” image visualizes who’s turn to give an answer. In the message area, the correspondent question is highlighted.
If it’s you who are waiting for an answer, there’s a yellow ball held by the other side.
In most cases, though, there are more than one question in a message. In that case, you’ve got as many balls as the questions being asked!

Quick View of File Directory
Why can’t we quickly view the whole file directory with one click?
And of course, there should be a search function for each view.
