Earlier today, we saw Naoro Miyazaki’s design for a calculator that looks like a cellphone. Here’s the concept in reverse, with bonus oldschool: a cellphone in the shape of a 1980’s-era Casio FX calculator.
The idea would be total simplicity, but I suppose it could have concealed buttons on the sides to access a phonebook or for playing MP3s from a memory card, if you must. But the glowy LCD numerals stay.
Unlocked, for about $50 or thereabouts. Would you purchase it? Damn right you would.

Next Gen Optimus Maximus Details: Sub-$800, One-Screen and Raised Keys [Optimus]
Apparently, when Jesus called Art.Lebedev’s Optimus Tactus keyboard “Optimus Retardus” for its lack of physical keys, the design team listened. Or not. Either way, Lebedev’s latest plan is to indeed make a visual keyboard with just one full-color screen as opposed to many tiny ones. But it will overlay physical transparent keys (like on the Upravlator). In the end, you’d actually have a hard time noticing that each key isn’t its own display. The goal is to get this thing into production by year’s end, and to sell it for under $800—a bargain by Art.Lebedev standards. Later, the dudes will move to E-Ink or e-paper for lighter, wireless keyboards. [Optimus Project]
