Phosphor watches feature curved E-Ink displaysDespite the fact that hi-tech watches are awesomely cool, they tend to make one look like a nerd. That’s why these e-ink Phosphor watches are pretty cool. They bridge the gap. Awesome tech, with a look that is at least respectable.

You could actually wear these outside of a Trek convention without being labeled a dork. They have screens that will show you the time, date, and other stuff. Techie and retro at once, without going overboard. They’re all under $200.

iView: curved iMac concept

iView: curved iMac concept
Designed by Nuno Teixeira, this curved iMac concept looks like it belongs on a Star Trek bridge and features a giant curved screen and a second built in LCD screen on the back. Nuno believes that every computer should have two sides and more curves. His “iView” of an Apple’s iMac has a lot of sexiness.

Inspiration came from the 1950’s CINERAMA wrap-around movie theatre screens. Hence the giant curved screen that is more compatible with the natural curvature of the human eye. The second LCD screen on the back would help students and graphic designers.
