Xbox 720 New Concept Idea

Today new concept ideas have been released the next generation of Xbox. With new technology just around the corner it appears Microsoft are really raising the bar when it comes to a gaming experience. Although there are  many similarities to the Xbox 360 the new 720 has a very updated look to it remaining with the black that Xbox soon reverted back to a few years back. Designed by Joseph Dumary the new Xbox has a very sleek look about it but like an improved look to the 360. In my opinion remaining with entirely black was a great choice due to the old white Xbox eventually becoming very dirty looking and no where near as crisp as it looks when first bough were as black holds its quality a lot longer.


Technology wise we can already see from the concept image that there appears to be no disc tray. This is because Microsoft are planning on working with technology that requires scanning a bar code that then leads to downloading and playing the game through the xbox hard drive rather than discs. This bar code reader is due to Microsoft pushing their new Kinect to another level by integrating into the console providing motion cameras and voice recognition rather than through a separate accesory. It also appears that they have taken away the touch pad power button for many positive reasons in my opinion. Does it really take that much strength to press a very soft button rather than place your finger over it. With the touch button i have seen many a time people accidently turn off their xbox or on when brushing past. For me the touch was definitely an inconvenience rather than a positive.

With a first opinion of the new concept it seems very appealing however the idea of a 1TB system along with everything else sounds very costly and will be interesting to see whether Microsoft are trying to go too far with ideas and not thinking about price.

HTC Windows Phones

HTC are growing more each year with new and improved phones hitting the market. In my opinion the new windows 7 phones are above anything else on the market competing strongly against the Iphone. Through their appearance and interface the HTC's provide a whole new type of phone with only 3 buttons that easily and quickly navigate the phone combined with a menu that is customizable to your own liking. So far from my own use id say the only thing this phone needs to become a better product than the iphone is a larger App market. So far although there are many apps out there, it is nothing compared to Apples market also prices are much higher on the Windows phones such as an average of about 5 pound for a game.


 The appearance of the interface is something that really appeals to me. Very simple through tiled squares than can rearranged, removed, or more added. Colours and images are changable to your own liking. All contacts are linked through facebook and Msn Messenger giving it a much more personal look with profile pictures intergrated to each contact. To me all these small features make the phone that more personal to yourself as it looks at things in your life that become personal. If Windows phones continue in the direction they are heading then i bilieve that Apple have a serious contender on the market to be wary of. For people that havn't used a version of the latest Windows 7 phones I suggest it is definately worth a look!

I was instantly intrigued by this product when I saw it. It creates a whole new aspect of interior design through a product that can become a whole new colour pallet/design at any time whilst also appearing very modern. With millions of combinations available you are able to change the style of a room for every day of the week. Becoming bored of the way a room looks will never be become an issue which is why this product appeals to me so well. Something new and innovative that fits its purpose perfectly. I also like how the designer has given examples of the wall in use, how the images shown actually get you thinking about what you could come up with yourself if it were in your possession. With this product a room can become even more personal to you with your own designs involved in it perfect for any home owner that cares about the appearance of their house.
