BenQ-Siemens Transformer

At first glance, this may look like your typical Smartphone,
but at the twist of the screen, it’s able to stand upright
for the ultimate multimedia experience.

Pantech Pivot Point

Designed by Lunar Designs for Pantech, Pivot Point is a
futuristic mobile phone concept, sporting a “swiveling screen
that can be set up like an easel for easy typing.”

If it ever gets out of the design stage, the device is
sure to be a hit with mobile TV and video-conferencing junkies

NEC’s “Tag” Phone

NEC has just unveiled “Tag”, its next-generation cell phone
concept. Available in white, black, or orange varities, this
device boasts ‘”shape-memorizing” material — the tag will
bend and twist at your command.’ Other specifications have
not yet been released.

Pantech’s Flexus Mobile Phone

Pantech’s sleek “Flexus” mobile phone concept recently took
home the iF Design Award for Excellence & Innovation. This
handset boasts a “trackball and Moto PEBL-esque keypad.”
Here’s what Nicholas Deleon has to say:

I take it I’m not the only one who would like to see this
released, right? Because something that pretty deserves to
be allowed to leaves it room every once and a while

Fujitsu’s 4-way Slider Phone

Fujitsu’s 4-way slider phone concept features “a virtual
keypad allowing it to display a pad appropriate to whichever
way the keypad slides out: left, right, up or down.”

There are four buttons on the front which would make the
machine very tempting as a music playback device. Indeed,
there’s something of the iPod about the device, though we’re
not saying this is the kit Apple’s going to unveil as the
iPhone

Nokia 888

Nokia’s remarkable 888 concept is ultrathin, lightweight, and
very flexible. Powered by liquid battery, the 888 offers a
touchscreen display.

Try hard to figure before you quite and ask me.
1. There is a man who lives on the top floor of a very tall building.

Everyday he gets the elevator down to the ground floor to leave the
building

to go to work. Upon returning from work though, he can only travel half
way

up in the lift and has to walk the rest of the way unless it's raining!
Why?
This is probably the best known and most celebrated of all lateral
thinking

puzzles. It is a true classic. Although there are many possible
solutions

which fit the initial conditions, only the canonical answer is truly

satisfying.
2. A man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the
scene, but

the child is rushed to the hospital. When he arrives the surgeon says,
“I

can't operate on this boy, he is my son!” How can this be?
3. A man is wearing black. Black shoes, socks, trousers, coat, gloves
and ski

mask. He is walking down a back street with all the street lamps off. A
black

car is coming towards him with its light off but somehow manages to stop
in

time. How did the driver see the man?
4. One day Kerry celebrated her birthday. Two days later her older twin

brother, Terry, celebrated his birthday. How?
5. Why is it better to have round manhole covers than square ones? This
is

logical rather than lateral, but it is a good puzzle that can be solved
by

lateral thinking techniques. It is supposedly used by a very well-known

software company as an interview question for prospective employees.
6. A man went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left
early.

Everyone else at the party who drank the punch subsequently died of

poisoning. Why did the man not die?
7. A man died and went to Heaven. There were thousands of other people
there.

They were all naked and all looked as they did at the age of 21. He
looked

around to see if there was anyone he recognized. He saw a couple and he
knew

immediately that they were Adam and Eve. How did he know?
8. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day
of the

same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?

9. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The

barman pulls out a gun and points it at the man. The man says 'Thank
you' and

walks out. This puzzle claims to be the best of the genre. It is simple
in

its statement, absolutely baffling and yet with a completely satisfying

solution. Most people struggle very hard to solve this one yet they like
the

answer when they hear it or have the satisfaction of figuring it out.
10. A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three
rooms.

The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with

loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3
years.

Which room is safest for him?
11. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over
5

minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out

together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
12. There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all
of

this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and
still

tell which water came from which jug?
13. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when
you

throw it away?
14. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Monday,

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, or Sunday? (or day names
in

any other language)
15. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find
out

what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing
was

wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is unusual though.
Study

it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if
you

work at it a bit, you might find out.

Solutions :
1. The man is very, very short and can only reach halfway up the
elevator

buttons. However, if it is raining then he will have his umbrella with
him

and can press the higher buttons with it.
2. The surgeon was his mother.
3. It was day time.
4. At the time she went into labor, the mother of the twins was
traveling by

ship. The older twin, Terry, was born first early on March 1st. The ship
then

crossed a time zone and Kerry, the younger twin, was born on February
the

28th. Therefore, the younger twin celebrates her birthday two days
before her

older brother.
5. A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the diagonal of
the

manhole. A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for
safety

and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.
6. The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes. When the man drank
the

punch, the ice was fully frozen. Gradually it melted, poisoning the
punch.
7. He recognized Adam and Eve as the only people without navels. Because
they

were not born of women, they had never had umbilical cords and therefore
they

never had navels. This one seems perfectly logical but it can sometimes
spark

fierce theological arguments. (Just what a HUMOR list needs!!) ;^)
8. They were two of a set of triplets (or quadruplets, etc.). This
puzzle

stumps many people. They try outlandish solutions involving test-tube
babies

or surrogate mothers. Why does the brain search for complex solutions
when

there is a much simpler one available?
9. The man had hiccups. The barman recognized this from his speech and
drew

the gun in order to give him a shock. It worked and cured the
hiccups–so the

man no longer needed the water. The is a simple puzzle to state but a

difficult one to solve. It is a perfect example of a seemingly
irrational and

incongruous situation having a simple and complete explanation.
Amazingly

this classic puzzle seems to work in different cultures and languages.
10. The third. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead.
11. The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband,

developed it, and hung it up to dry.
12. Freeze them first. Take them out of the jugs and put the ice in the

barrel. You will be able to tell which water came from which jug.
13. The answer is Charcoal.
14. Sure you can: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow!
15. The letter “e,” which is the most common letter in the English
language,

does not appear once in the long paragraph…
Alternate Solutions :
Kyle Powerly offers several alternate solutions that fit and that are

actually simpler, thus meeting Occam's Razor. (when presented with two

explanations, the simpler of the two is probably the correct one)
4. Because one of them did not necessarily celebrate their birthday on
the

day they were born, but celebrated later or earlier. Much simpler than
having

Mom giving birth while crossing the International Date Line and tossing
in a

Leap Year and the like. Needlessly complicated.
6. Because he was the one who put the poison in the punch. Of course he

wouldn't drink any *after* he poisoned it. Who goes to the effort of
making

poison ice cubes, except Bond villains and those bad guys in the

“Encyclopedia Brown” mystery stories we read in elementary school?
8. Because they were adopted. It's a coincidence they were born on the
same

exact day. OK, so Occam's Razor could be applied equally to both
solutions.

The Google/Samsung phone is now supposedly going to feature a flip QWERTY keypad, 2.0-megapixel camera, Wi-Fi, and 3G data support. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced.

Typical test-marketing survey mumbo jumbo suggests that the phone would offer “all the exciting Google services from the PC” and — thanks largely to targeted advertising — affordable (as it’s been suggested) flat-rate data service and a three-month trial. Could it be that Apple’s going to see a legitimate competitor in the “pretty, giant-screened cellphone with tight Google integration” market right out of the gate (and with 3G, no less)?

Never one to let a pixel go unused, digital imaging company BetterLight has raised the bar on ridiculously high-resolution cameras yet again, busting out its new top-end, 416-megapixel Super10K-HS model at the big PMA trade show. Like the company's other mega megapixel wonders, the Super10K-HS isn't a digital camera itself, but a so-called “scanning back” that attaches to high-end, large-format cameras for tasks like photographing paintings and other stationary objects.

They need to be stationary 'cause shooting a single photo at the full 416-megapixel resolution takes upwards of two minutes, effectively working more like a scanner than a digital camera. Once it's finished, however, you've got a 10,200 x 13,600 pixel image to do as you please with, clocking in at a file size of about 794MB. Anyone remotely considering getting one had better start saving up (or working on a pitch for the boss), with this monster set to demand a hefty $22,995 when it's released at the end of the month.
