Zinc Chan, a London-based designer, just struck fame with the speed of a back-tax owing Ohio plumber. The Icono concept telephone is inspired by the internationally recognized "call me" hand gesture made famous by pouty-mouthed debutantes and hollywood starlets -- aka "shaka" amongst surfers. As such, the microphone and speaker are split to ride the swell of the pinkie and thumb, respectively. Callers then draw a unique pattern on the touchscreen pre-assigned to their contacts to initiate a call. As far fetched as the concept may seem, work related to <A href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/induction" linkindex="24">induction</A> charging, <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/11/20/etris-body-area-network-prototype-prints-through-your-body/" linkindex="25">body area networks</A> for transmitting audio <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/10/new-ipod-nano-uses-human-skin-to-transmit-audio/" linkindex="26">across human skin</A>, <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/10/18/toshibas-new-circular-lcds-because-your-eyes-are-round/" linkindex="27">round LCDs</A>, and any number of <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/23/csr-demonstrates-bluetooth-low-energy-transfer/" linkindex="28">short length</A> <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/04/ozmo-intel-trumpet-wifi-pan-for-low-power-devices-bluetooth-s/" linkindex="29">wireless solutions</A> could very well make this concept a near-term reality.
