Call Me Because You Light Up My Life
It seems in regard to electronic design, touchscreens are in and anything tactile is out. Tao Ma sees it the other way around. The Quartz Tele concept uses large quartz crystals for each numeric number on a dial pad. Below each crystal is an embedded LED. Pressing each crystal illuminates it like a transformer’s energon cube. They all sit on a base with a sharp LED screen that displays pertinent information like incoming calls, dates, and contacts.
Designer: Tao Ma

It looks great in the photos, but I can’t help feeling that in a couple years, I’ll be seeing this at a yard sale sandwiched between neon beer signs and a lava lamp.

It would be hot if you had several small number crystals and had to put the crystals in order to dial a number.

You Light Up My Life”
So many nights, I’d sit by my window,
Waiting for someone to sing me her song.
So many dreams, I kept deep inside me,
Alone in the dark, but now you’ve come along
Lyrics from You Light Up My Life by Westlife

Hear me Kal-El in your fortress of solitude.

This seems more like a home phone than a cell phone because I don’t think it would fit in many, if any, pockets.
