Furoshiki-shiki Bag, Wallet and Card Holder
by Josh Rubin
The Furoshiki-shiki vinyl bag is made from a single sheet of translucent material that folds up to make a bag. The adhesive nature of the vinyl helps hold everything securely as you trot along to the beach. Also available in a wallet and card holder.
There's a little animation showing how it works after the jump.
Cellphedia
by Josh Rubin
It's thesis week over at ITP and the second year students are propping their all-nighter-red-eyes open to present the culmination of their graduate adventures in interactive technology. Following last year's well publicized mobile social software thesis, Dodgeball, there are several new explorations of how the mobile phone can facilitate communication in unconventional ways.
Limor Garcia's Cellphedia takes an sensible angle by limiting communication to simple questions and answers. Her application is basically a mobile interpretation of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that anyone can edit. In Cellphedia, however, you send your questions via text message to a topic specific group of users and anyone who knows the answer can simply reply to you. Handy.
