Yep, That's A Circular Smartphone


We're talking about circular smartphones and ambitious tech job plans and definitely not the Apple Watch. This is all the news you may have missed yesterday right here on BitStream.
This round smartphone is called the Runcible, and it's been a year's work of one three-person startup working out of Berkeley, California. They call it the "anti-smartphone." The team describes the phone as a challenge to the centuries old rectangle shapes of our books, movie theaters, televisions, laptops, and now smartphones and to get designers and developers thinking in different ways. Although a circular smartphone may seem ridiculous, this isn't the only company trying to reverse our rectangular consumption habits. With the advent of the smartwatch (especially the round ones), the screens we ceaselessly stare at every day are beginning to change, so maybe Runcible isn't such a crazy idea after all. [Wired]
