Yo-Yo concept phone
Concept designs can go in a variety of directions. Beautiful, timeless, incredibly functional, or ridiculous. This "Yo-Yo Phone" certainly falls into the latter category. Concocted for manufacturer NEC by American designer Shaik Ridzwan, the Yo-Yo Phone looks like a, yo-yo. The circular concept has what appear to be two smooth, rounded bezels. The top bezel flips up to reveal an LCD, numeric keypad, and speaker. The Yo-Yo effect is heightened by the attached pair of retractable stereo headphones that conveniently wrap around the center of the handset. Yep, just like a Yo-Yo string. How clever. It would be easy to pass this off as hot air, and it will most likely never see the local phone store shelves, but the fact that it was commissioned by a legitimate manufacturer means that it’s certainly closer to seeing the light of day than most equivalent ideas. That being said, don’t bet on it. From the looks of the thing it would appeal to a very specific demographic, and not a single person more.
This would be great for little children. Add dedicated buttons for police and parents. It might help in child kidnappings. And when the kids are not using it as a phone, it would make a great toy. Put a gps tracker in the phone and you will always have tabs tabs on your little tikes.
@Briand D not a bad idea.
I don’t think its that great of an idea even if its toward kids. I don’t know why but it seems like now a days kids aren’t into that stuff anymore. Like instead of having a yoyo phone kids would think its cooler to have a razr. Maybe its just me but that’s what I think.
The person who created this must also have worked on the Palm “Gandolf”
