Looking to inspire new patterns in urban mobility MIT Media Labs created the Folding Roboscooter. The lightweight scooter collapses to save space in our increasingly crowded cities. The Roboscooter is powered by an electric motor allowing it to be both whisper quiet and free of emissions.

The First Else by Emblaze
You have to admire the ambition of Israeli based tech company Emblaze. Declaring current smart phone designs tired and staid, they tore down the framework and started from scratch to create their entry into the mobile phone market. Designed from the ground up the First Else sports a most unique UI. Called sPlay, the concept eschews the main menu and excessive finger taps. A fan shaped press and release menu allows complete navigation from one hand and does so with great economy. Keeping your attention squarely on the center of the screen is the Fisheye concept. The selected contact, song, email, or media item is maginified in the direct center of the screen and given a context menu which allows you to make the item actionable.
In the hardware department the First Else is no slouch either. It features the TI OMAP processor currently found in the Motorola Droid and Palm Pre. The screen is a capactive LCD with a 851 x 480 resolution. The onboard camera captures 5 megapixels worth of image and is capable of recording 480p video at 30 fps.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10
The Xperia X10 marks the debut of Google’s open source Android platform on a Sony Ericsson device. The device boasts impressive hardware including: a 4 inch glass touch screen, 8.1 mega pixel camera with auto focus and LED flash, 1Ghz Snapdragon CPU, and 1GB of internal storage with an available SD expansion slot.
Even more impressive are the software features the device is capable of. Specially developed applications extend the device into the cloud. Timescape serves as a global communications aggregator for the device. Messages retrieved from Facebook, Twitter, text, and phone are organized under a universal contact. In this way, the device uses software to improve organization of fractured social media and traditional communication methods.
Mediascape intelligently inventories your media whether locally held on the device or if the media is accessed via the web. The application then will make suggestions based upon your playing habits or even upon the playing habits of a friend you communicate with.
Last year, Google unveiled facial recognition software to reduce the amount of effort required to tag photos of your friends and family. It looks like a version of the software has found its way into the X10. Tag a person once in your X10 and the device will recognize that person’s face in the future. The excellent hardware coupled with the versatility of Google’s Android OS make the X10 one adaptable mobile device.

Using Microsoft Surface, the Configurator allows multiple users to create the A4 of their dreams in an immersive 3D environment. Simple hand gestures or motions allow the user to alter virtually anything on the A4, with instant results. Paint finish, wheel and tire packages, and interior color scheme are just some of the options that will be available for the user to manipulate. Whether or not Audi plans to take their tech partnership to local dealers remains unknown, but this will surely be a welcome change from the tired 100-page option booklets that luxury car manufacturers cling so fondly to.
