My Dream Mac (Macbook Touch? Mac Nano?)

Now that iPhone and iPod touch are out, “touch panel” is proved to be great by the world. I hope a mobile mac like this will come out. Technically it must be possible for Apple to produce this kind of PDA-cum-laptop.

It has a thin lid you can flip open downwards, which can work as a keyboard. It can slide behind the screen when it’s not used.

12 inch might be too large for a touch screen because we use it much more closely to our eyes than a usual screen.

CLEF, Electronic Music Note stand

Electronic Music (Note) Stand + Portable PC + Digital Music Player
When musicians are playing an instrument and need to turn paper music pages, they have to stop playing their music or get some help from an assistant. Consider how important their devotion to their music is at this moment. This problem should be remedied.
CLEF supports most computer functions, such as internet access, listening to music, and even multimedia editing. Most importantly, it can be easily transformed into an electronic music stand simply by pulling a base part out of its side. In addition, a flexible LCD touch screen, which is rolled inside, provides a large enough display area for digital music notes.

A wireless foot pedal can be detached from the main unit, so whenever a musician needs to flip pages, all they need to do is press the foot pedal or touch the main screen. Therefore, it is possible for musicians to be free from unpleasant moments of having to stop playing their music.

Serien Zoom

Zoom has a special feature to thank for its name: The suspended luminaire can change in size. The way it is constructed makers this possible, as, just like a harmonica, the flexible stainless steel concertina mesh can be infinitely extended and pushed back together again. This way Zoom is also able to adapt to the particular spatial circumstances. In terms of size and design the luminaire is reminiscent of a traditional chandelier – and can indeed be used as such. Zoom is available in three sizes.
