Mobiado, Aston Martin design new concept phone, CPT002

Be it a conventional smartphone with the ability to flip upside down or a concept phone, innovational structure and offbeat designs have been gaining ground in the handset realm. Blending together aesthetics of 
design, advanced technology and software, Switzerland-based Mobiado has dished out the CPT002 concept phone. This creation has been sculpted by famous car designer Aston Martin to infuse elegance and expediency in an out-of-the-box fashion.

Boasting of a solid sapphire crystal, the phone has been carved out with a transparent capacitive touchscreen. The platinum-based peripheral architecture of the handset facilitates it to house thebattery, SIM card and other items in way such that a see-through look remains intact.

The influence of Aston Martin’s primary skills makes an appearance into this handset too since it can be employed for automatically unlocking car doors. The phone has also been engineered to connect directly with an automobile’s display even as it silently lies in users’ pockets or handbags.

Delivering an immersive social network experience, the GPS capability of the handset works with its software to offer varied services. The FourSquare app wheedles with the GPS system to not only locate users’ cars but also their friends via an integrated map. Besides, customers can update their Facebook and Twitter statuses throughcameras outfitted in the vehicle while apps like Airbag are of great use during emergency situations like an accident.

The CPT002 is being showcased at the ongoing world watch and jewelry show, BaselWorld 2011, held in Switzerland.
