Water Cube-inspired cell phone from Beijing Olympics
With the next Olympics event four years away, you can expect gadget makers to keep capitalizing on the excitement over this year’s happenings. This Water Cube-inspired cell phone makes a good example.
The cell phone’s design mimicks the Water Cube’s unique “soap bubbles” that were used to light up the aquatics center. Featuring a 2.4-inch LCD screen, MP3- and video-playing capabilities and a “dual high-definition camera,” this looks like a promising cell phone, but I’d exercise extreme caution buying any gadget straight from China — since, oh, you know, the country is notorious for using technology to spy on its citizens.
Nonetheless, it’s an aesthetically interesting phone devoted to the Olympics — much more interesting than Samsung’s boring-as-reading-Moby-Dick Blackjack II, which was the “official” Olympics phone.
