Customisable Phone Concept for the MySpace Generation
Posted by Adrian Covert at 4:00 AM on November 23, 2007
Other than the teenage, female demographic, I'm not quite sure who would want a gold-plated phone, or go through the trouble of sticking a bunch of little plastic squares all over it. The idea is that one could customise their phone on a whim, but it seems like doing so would be tedious. It's a good idea in theory, I guess. But so were MySpace's customisable pages. And we all know how that turned out. [Yanko Design]

Why those look JUST like the urinal pucks I saw in the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Rashid's Aerion Supersonic Business Jet lavatory!

The only use I can see for this is to make retro pixel game characters.

Yea that looks like it'd be tedious as hell, and your phone would like shit unless you use a ruler to make sure all the squares line up.

@tin:
The metal casing is a grid with the holes already put in it. The colored squares are plastic and snap into the inset squares.

Did anyone else notice that they spelled coated "choated" in the picture?

The gold is gaudy, agreed, but the ability to make pixel art on my phone is a great idea... Concept = great, execution = crap.
