This tiny snapper designed for Japanese retailer Muji aims for simplicity both in its form factor and in use. With two touch interfaces that you can interact with via finger gestures, the button-less camera uses an accelerometer to recognise which of the surfaces you are using to avoid confusion. Specs-wise there’s an 8-megapixel sensor with LCD flash, mini USB charging support and 4GB of built-in storage.

May 2012: Circle printer
The words 'printer' and 'sexy' don't generally go hand in hand, but if they looked a bit more like this “courteous printer” we’d happily invest more time and money in one instead of waiting to do our printing at work instead. Swirling the paper around a vertical drum the finished print out arrives at the bottom of the bucket design and with minimalist looks shouldn't take up too much of the computer area in your house.

May 2012: Facebook Phone UI
Reports of Zuck’s attempts to break into the smartphone-making business has once again surfaced and it’s not taken long for someone to second guess what the Facebook founder could have planned if the latest stories prove true. This mock-ups suggests that the social networking wonder will be deeply integrated into the operating system and largely inspired by design of the existing smartphone app. All we ask is that it’s not called ChaCha if it does land.

May 2012: Acer smartphone concept
One day maybe Acer will make a smartphone that will be universally loved and maybe it will look something like this gorgeous-looking concept. The Android 4.0 smartphone with two ‘chins’ uses the lower one to display icons and apps and the other dedicated to the camera. Available in a variety of colours, Hsus suggests the phone would feature the latest quad-core chip processor technology. Let’s hope Acer are keeping an eye on these slick designs…

April 2012: iPad Mini
With rumours of Apple releasing a smaller version of the iPad swirling around the net, it’s no surprise that a few people have gone to the effort to illustrate just what it might look like. These pictures give a good idea of the size difference we can expect if speculation is anything to go by, which still isn’t a huge difference when compared to the iPhone sitting alongside it. And if you want an even better idea, Ciccarese Design have made a printable paper version of the 7.85 iPad for you to hold in your eager hands.

. April 2012: Halo
We particularly like Halo. Not just because the concept product is incredibly stylish, but because we can also see it being extremely useful. Halo is a small electronic business card, built like a very tiny tablet. The diminutive device stores and displays a copy of your business card just like the physical version, then all users have to do is touch their Halo with someone else’s and their cards will be exchanged. Saves sifting through those piles of tattered cards on your desk.

April 2012: Rieul-Useful
When’s a yacht not a yacht? When it’s pretty much a floating home. The Rieul-Useful comprises of two floors: the top consists of two bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen; the bottom is a private dock with space for a single hull yacht up to 15m long. The whole thing has a very art deco look to it, and perfect for those who want the life at sea without skimping on the luxury amenities.
Designer: Hyun-Seok Kim
