This Awesome Facebook Smartphone Concept Will Compel You To Buy It [PHOTOS]


Just a week ago, we reported about the world-famous social network, Facebook looking to get into the hardware business by launching it’s own smartphone by next year. However, some Facebook fans are already anticipating the smartphone by making concept designs of how the Facebook phone would look like.



This Facebook mockup by Michal Bonikowski certainly strikes as a Facebook phone the moment you set your eyes on it. For one thing, it comes in that distinguishable Facebook-blue color, which makes it stand out in a world of black and white smartphones.



The second thing that you will notice is that this Facebook-phone-concept resembles an Android on the front (more like HTC devices), while the rear has got a look quite similar to an iPhone, if you rule out the bluish color and the camera placement.
The concept doesn’t has much info in terms of specs, nor on the software operating the phone. The only thing it shows is a 4.2 inch screen, and an 8 Megapixel camera on the back. A front camera or probably just a light sensor is visible but the creator of hasn’t said anything about that. The standard stuff such as volume rockers, 3.5 mm headphone jack are also present.
You can check out rest of the images of Facebook-smartphone concept below,




There is also a image of this concept phone with a dock,



Facebook doesn’t has a good record in dealing with mobile apps and stuff, so it remains to be seen if Facebook can turn that around with it’s own smartphone.
Will you be buying it if Facebook does make a smartphone like this?

13 Coolest Movie Gadgets Ever


Since everyone watching the film ''Click'' inevitably starts fantasizing about a part of their own lives they’d love to relive (or skip past), we’ll take this opportunity to rewind to our 13 favorite movie gadgets.
1 – Lightsabers – Star Wars

An elegant weapon, for a more civilized age.” Whether your particular brand comes in badass red, noble hero blue, or Samuel L. Jedi purple, the lightsaber is such an intimidator, it can even make a two-foot Muppet seem tough. You don’t even have to use it, just flick it on and its unmistakable hum clearly says: “Somebody’s walking out of here without a limb.”

2 – Neuralizer – Men in Black












The neuralizer was a tool used by the Men in Black in both films. This alien technology was borrowed by the MIB as K suggested in the first movie:
“This is a gift from some friends from out of town.”
The uses of eliminating someone’s memories are endless, especially is you are prone to screwing up a lot.

3 – Copter Hat – Inspector Gadget












How many times did you watch inspector gadget and wished you could have at least one of his innovative gadgets to show off to your mates?
The power of flight, man! Not to mention the fashion of a sweet fedora.

4 – Ultimate Swiss Army Knife – Get Smart












Get Smart is loaded with new gadgets, but this wild take on the famous utility knife tops them all
Contains all the same items of your standard Swiss Army Knife but also includes a blowgun, crossbow and blowtorch.

5 – Remote Control – Click












The remote control with unending possibilities.
In “Click,” Adam Sandler plays Michael Newman, an overworked architect who discovers a truly 
universal remote, one that allows him to pause, fast-forward, mute and rewind real life

6 – Utility Belt – Batman













Reason You Wish You Had It? 14 reasons to be exact. 2-way Radio, Batarangs, Infra-red Flashlight, Smoke Capsules, Fingerprint Kit, Miniature Camera, Lockpick Tools, Tear Gas Pellets, Micro-Processor Power Source, Micro-Cassete Recorder, Batline, Laser Torch, Plastic Explosive Grenades and a Rebreathing Apparatus.

7 – Green Lantern Ring

















A power ring is a weapon in the DC Universe, most notably used by the Green Lantern Corps. These rings are considered to be the most powerful weapons in the DC Universe, as its effects are limited only by the imagination and willpower of its wielder

Each Green Lantern possesses a power ring that gives the user great control over the physical world as long as the wielder has sufficient willpower and strength to wield it. While the ring of the Golden Age Green Lantern was magically powered, the rings worn by all subsequent Lanterns were technological creations of the Guardians of the Universe, who granted such rings to worthy candidates.

Reason You Wish You Had It? Is so freaking cool!!

8 – Hover Board – Back to the Future


















Ever since you were a kid you’ve wanted something like this and probably even heard
rumors that they were coming out some day, only to be crushed again when you find out the truth.

9 – James Bond’s Aston Martin













The Aston Martin was first introduced in Goldfinger with machine guns, a back shield, an oil slick, rotating license plates and tire slashers. Different models made appearances in Thunderball, The Living Daylights, Die Another Day and Casino Royale
.Each model had cool add-ons like a cloaking shield, laser weapons and even a defibrillator. God, I want one of those cars

10 – Jack Bauer’s PDA – 24

Like James Bond’s mobile phone from Tomorrow Never Dies, Jack Bauer’s PDA could do almost anything. Satellite Photos or building schematics? No problem! Encrypted messages from terrorists? Piece of cake! As long as Chloe was feeding him the information, there wasn’t anything that his PDA couldn’t do.

11 – The Shoe Phone – Get Smart














Okay, I know it’s a little odd to put a clunky shoe phone on the list. However, the shoe phone was from the 60s, and it was actually pretty cool… as well as funny.

12 – The Watches – Spy Kids









Carmen and Juni Cortez had a ton of cool gadgets as the littlest secret agents in the biz. But it was their multifunctional watch that was their coolest toy. If only it told time.

13 – Freddy’s Glove – A Nightmare on Elm Street


















One Two, Freddy’s Comin’ For You…Three Four, Better Lock The Door..’ We all know the rhyme, and for a few years, thanks to the industry inundating the screens with Freddy and his nightmares, we were all pretty well frightened, too. Freddy Krueger was a horribly disfigured and burnt walking cliche who also happened to own a killer metal glove featuring four fingers of razor sharp blades. He haunted the sleeping thoughts of the younger crowd ’surviving’ on Elm Street, and more often then not, disposed of them in any number of gory and vicious ways. But, most frequently, he employed the use of his ‘fist of fury’. Very sharp.
