Some time ago I’ve found a quite useful tool called iPrototype (created by these guys). Basically, it is a combo of Fireworks .lbi and Jquery that lets you create navigable prototypes for iPhone. Since I am a hard-core FW user, I’ve adapted iPrototype for the iPad. You can download it...

So this Swedish design house, called Ocean Observation, have come out with a concept I think that this concept has the...

This is really amazing: your desktop becomes a 3D space, like your room. I appreciated the perspective they have chosen and the idea of having a wall where you can hang up things. Take a look also at how you can crop pictures: nice. I hope to see ideas like this more often in the...
