Designer Crispin Jones has been commissioned by a Japanese firm PBJ, to add a little style and flavor into its line of UMPCs. The concept above is definitely a step in the right direction, as the UMPC is no longer a cold, impersonal object but has become an item of emotional attachment to the owner and anyone else who notice it.
This UMPC is designed to be a non-business machine – whereas once we lived in a world where computers were solely for business, today our personal lives are often experienced through the computer. However we are still stuck with the business machine paradigm. For example looking at family photographs on a conventional laptop is a slightly sterile experience – certainly compared with looking at a traditional bound album. This design brings the more emotive qualities of the traditional photo album to the world of technology.
