One will usually expect a lamp to rip power off the mains socket or even USB, but this is not the case for the Phone-Jack Powered lamp that rips power off any abandoned telephone socket.

Round pegs for square holes never works but Art Lebedev’s Navigarius GPS comes in a fetchingly round design that would make any dashboard a more fashionable backdrop (well, we say any). The Art Lebedev Navigarius GPS comes with touchscreen controls, USB, microSD, cigarette lighter adapter and a thin, detachable stand. The problem? It’s a concept.

The Spoticam Lamp gives you the (reassuring?) feeling that you’re being watched even though it is only a ‘sign of the modern times’ light source. The average person living in a big city is caught on camera around 300 times a day so the Spoticam Lamp should make you feel right at home, in your own home.

The Wooden Electronic Ruler concept by designer Shay Shafranek would have definitly put the cool back into your school pencil case if it was around way back when. The wooden cover cleverly hides a row of electronic points which you slide you pencil or marker across, as demonstrated in the picture, and gives you a readable output of the distance via the Wooden Electronic Ruler’s embedded LED.

The iBum Chair can only be a useful piece of furniture if you are a clown, paparazzi or just plain perverted. Practical jokers can invite their unsuspecting victims (or celebrities with a penchant for not wearing underwear) to sit in the iBum Chair and a quick flash later (pun intended), the iBum Chair will have photocopied their backside and printed it convieniantly at the side of the chair ready for you have a good laugh at them (for about 5 seconds) or send it to the local celebrity gossip magazine (could be profitable).

This Jelly Fish Broadband Router is pretty cool looking and we can see this being as must have as a ‘lava lamp’ in many a student flat. The Jelly Fish Broadband Router is part of a project by Goldsmith University students in London aiming at designing ‘Routers of the Future’ and the Jelly Fish router is definitely a break from the ugly black boxes we all have hidden in the corner under our desks.

Since the automobile industry has gone to pot, Toyota have decided to put some of their eggs into this Mind-Controlled Wheelchair concept. Although it is still not finished, the Mind-Controlled Wheelchair can be made to move and steer just with the force of sheer brain-powers. Dummies are out of luck.

VertaBrate Back Massager would be a Godsend for anybody with back pain. Back pain is a bitch and anything that helps alleviate it gets an automatic win. Designed by Jacob Ballard, the VertaBrate Back Massager fits onto your spinal cord like and alien parasite of sorts and gently or vigourosly depending on the settings, massages your back by applying constant pressure direct to the source of discomfort.

This Nokia E97 NOKIA Envelop Concept Phone definitely looks slick but we’re not sure how practical it would actually be. The slide out screen component would definitely be fragile and a breakage hazard. Still, it looks bad-ass enough for us to wish that Nokia actually did think outside the box like this.

The stackable Mac Mini Dockable Desktop Radio concept is pretty nice to look at we have to admit although how many Mac Mini users would also need a separate radio unit (as opposed to streaming on-line direct from the Mac Mini) we don’t know. The number must be in the low 10′s….
