A skinny phone concept for tight jeansIs that a cell phone in your pocket or are you just a mutant and very happy to see me? Your jeans can get pretty tight, which means that the bulge of your cellphone sticks out quite a bit. If you can even get your phone in your jeans. Designer David Turpin of France has come up with this Skinny Phone concept that should help.

It slides sideways to reveal a QWERTY keypad, but other then that we don’t have any detailed specs. It’s just a slim dream at the moment for all of you who have to grease yourselves up to get your pants on. Even if it existed, battery life would leave a lot to be desired.

Voodoo Envy 133 Super-Thin Laptop
HP & Voodoo has unveiled the Voodoo Envy 133 which is just 0.7 inch thick. The very nicely designed and anorexic desktop replacement features a 13.3 inch LCD display, a fast processor, an SDD drive, WiFi N (100+ Mbps), and has an instant-on OS (most likely linux-based) that can boot super quick to let you access the web and other basic applications. Weighing in at about 3.4lbs, the Voodoo Envy 133 has a carbon fiber shell and starts at $2,099. It looks pretty amazing. What’s not to like?
