This iPod is Full of Air
It really is! Hear me out. The iBangle is Gopinath Prasana’s vision of a future iPod where the devices have become darn close to becoming jewelry. If you factor in inflation and the cost of Apple products today - might as well call it jewelry because it’ll cost as much. I digress, the iBangle is a thin piece of aluminum (of course) with a multi-touch track pad. To achieve the perfect fit, a cushion inside the ring inflates to keep itself taught against your wrist. Unisex? Maybe.
Designer: Gopinath Prasana

dissipline says
would both ear pieces have receivers built in, or only one-where the other connects via a cable to the one with the receiver?

zippyflounder says
from the scaling with the finger its more of a neck ring than for the wrist…in any event its market is mostly for fem’s no matter xy or xx.
iPhoneGeek says
Awesome design,
applehater says
awesome design, too bad you gave apple credit, hopefully they wont sue you now
Lamah says
The air pump design is ridiculously overcomplicated and impractical. Why not just put foam or some other compressible material around the inside?

Fantastic!
FameGadget says
Wow,, amazing concept
Cassandra says
OMG thats so cool, I want one!
CoolProducts says
Thats cool that it inflates with air to stay on you wrist. As far as unisex goes…not so sure about that.
zippyflounder says
ummmm dumb question time, how do you hear your music via wires and ear buds? If so now you have a wire dangling up your arm, snagging every whatnot and thingamabob. If blue tooth or the like, that would be better but….dang some extra power is going to be needed and zip there go’s the smal foot print.

Um..where have you been…last I checked there was dilithium crystals , flux capasitors and geothermalbiowaste…..goshhhhh
even jaw mounted perpetual motion / energy converter storage devises…..
And to keep it child safe I wont mention the hip mounted one for nimphomaniacs…but I hear it produces lots of power
FATMA says

Love the design, very sleek. Wouldn’t it be great if it is real? Makes my jewelry look archaic.
Sarah says
mmhh.. cool! I’d like to try one ^_^
Gopinath Prasana says
Oh my Gooooooooooood……
I posted ibangle and I completely forgot and today while checking out something else in some blog I came across my ibangle. God its all over net now.
Thank u guys. I really thank each one of you for your comments.

You clearly show the usage as being one finger only, which is fine. However, you state that the touchpad is multi-touch… which makes no sense. It seems like a single-touch pad to me, which is fine, just get it right. Throwing the phrase “multi-touch” in there despite it being unnecessary severely detracts from the design layout for me. Everything else was tight, even the imaginative tiny air pump.

Donovan says
Very good invention,i am interested in acting as your agent in South Africa on results only basis. If you could send me more details on the product like prices and the way you operate it would be helpful. Thanks
Kind Regards,
Donovan
Haruspex says
It is not an invention, it is a concept design which does not exist and will most likely never be produced.
Ricardo says
I like the concept and the design to experience, but i don’t see Apple here.
Good work. Bye.
Reed says
Holy shit if you put that to scale the controls are wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to small, the fricken hold button is like the size of the period at the end of this sentence.
The idea is veryy creative, so props. Dunno about the air pump, seems to overcomplicated. Why not make it adjustable and lock it into position?
