Think your phone is cutting edge? Meet Seabird

Concept Series: Seabird – A Community-driven Mobile Phone Concept

Since Mozilla Labs launched the Concept Series with an open call for participation we’ve had thousands of people join in, share ideas and develop concepts around Firefox, the Mozilla projects and the Open Web as a whole.

In response to our open call Billy May, in early 2009, produced a throw-away concept for an “Open Web Concept Phone”. Working directly off of that community feedback, Billy has since finished the exploration with his concept “Seabird”.

The following write-up is by Billy May and explores what an Open Web phone might look like:

The edge to edge screen concept is pretty cool.

But that bulge on the back is hideous.

I don't get excited over "concepts".

In this case it seems necessary to house the projector.

I agree. But geez, it almost makes you question whether the projector is worth it.

That's peachy. I'm still waiting for one that works like a land-line. Like not in cars or ordering food or during a conversation or in a restaurant...........

Crazy. Those IR keyboards are pretty snazzy.
