Brix concept phone wows, expands into large screen display

Designer Seokwon Hong's Brix mobile phone concept looks to be the stuff of dreams, but we'd welcome it today with arms wide open. This innovative idea sees a mobile with a screen covering all of the front real estate feature the ability to connect with other Brix, the two then become one as the screens merge content. The idea behind it while simple, offers up endless fun scenarios for use: from gaming nights with friends -- you'll need a lot of Brix-toting friends, of course, and it'll have to support some type of input -- to family events for pic sharing, and the like. When devices are connected a temporary shared content folder is created until your break them apart, alternatively one device can be set as the control or hub device. We've seen countless concept devices, but this is one of the first to really stand out with excellent real-world possibilities. Job very well done! We're lining up for review samples -- we think a minimum of ten should be good -- today.

Okay I read the "read" link and I have to say that is the sickest concept I've seen in a long time. If it can play video, that would be amazing.

This is not acceptable! This is the slippery slope the Fooleo is leading the handheld industry down. Now a phone that unfolds into a screen, thats an acceptable concept!

nice concept, unfortunately it would require everyone you know to have the same phone, or you would have to carry arround several of them to make use of the feature.

i built in projectors in phones to be a mutch more viable alternative.

also built in HD A/V wireless streaming would be nice too, incase youre somewhere where there is a big tv. (something one hopes will bi integrated into all A/V devices in the future)
