Tapi: Easily drink or rinse your mouth straight from your tap, without using your hands!

Share

A lot of people uses their hands to rinse their mouth when brushing their teeth. It's kind of hard for tall people to bend over especially if it's the type used for washing hands. So I guess, the designer/inventor (probably stands 7 feet tall, and doesn't have enough money to buy a bathroom accessory set), thought of designing Tapi, a tap squeeze drinking fountain. Dreamfarm's Tapi is made of water-safe rubber that is safe and doesn't change the taste of the water. A simple, yet interesting invention, Tapi can fit to almost any tap and only costs USD $5.95. 

 

To use Tapi all you have to do is squeeze the lower portion to use the fountain feature, release to use the faucet faeture.

See more pictures on how Tapi is used.

Sony Ericsson concept phone: A new breed of mobile phone form-factor

Share

Mobile phones have 5 basic form-factors: Bar or "candybar", Slate or "touch screen", Flip or "clamshell", Slider, and Swivel.  Using these basic form-factors, a lot of phone manufacturers have mixed and matched possibilities of combining two or more form-factors into one phone . We've seen successful phone models with mixed form-factors like Nokia's N90, N92, and N93 (Flip + Swivel), Sony Ericsson's P series (Flip down + Slate), and newer models that incorporate Slider QWERTY with Slate form-factors. The purpose of combining these form-factors is to innovate and improve the capabilities and user-friendliness of mobile phones. Nokia N90's Swivel feature is to enable users to watch videos horizontally (widescreen) and conveniently (you can tilt the screen and sit the phone on your desk). 

A new breed of form-factor is being conceptualize by Sony Ericsson. It breaks the laws of mobile phone design, although it doesn't combine form-factors, it's way better! It uses the Flip form-factor concept, but instead of flipping vertically or horizontally, it flips... eerrr.. verizontically! Not only that, it can be split into two, serving as a walkie-talkie! Design is by Master Du Jun.

Sony Ericsson F-H is a dual-screen phone just like the Toshiba Libretto W100 that was released last week. It's basically a flip phone (before transforming).

After flipping the phone vertically just like an ordinary clamshell phone, one screen is used as its display, and the other one is used as a virtual keypad. 

From its flip opened state, you can flip it sideways to combine the screens into one display panel for widescreen display.

And best of all, you can dismantle the two screens from its pivotal hinge and each screen unit serves as a walkie-talkie using bluetooth technology. 

Sony Ericsson F-H, transform!

It even comes in different colors. Not bad!

Take a closer look on the bread and butter of this concept, the pivotal hinge. 

If they could turn this wonderful phone concept into reality, who knows what other inventions will be built out of this technology. Also, judging by today's technology growth, I bet this isn't far from being a fantasy.
