Recently leaked photos of the QX10 and QX100 'lens cameras' from Sony offer a whole new area of innovation in smartphones and cameraphones. The lens cameras integrate sensor, lens, SD Card slot, WiFi and zoom in the lens while the viewfinder and all the controls are handled by a connected smartphone (which also serves as the viewfinder). The whole kit and kaboodle is expected to be unveiled in early September at IFA and could really help Sony reclaim it's innovator status in mobile and consumer electronics.

This is one of those ideas where I scold myself for not being first with it. Simple and brilliant, the NFC (Near Field Communication) Ring is plastic, NFC-lined ring you wear on your finger which can be coded to carry data needed for NFC transactions. Designed to make your life easier. Not only can it be used for such mundane tasks as unlocking your phone or passing along your information, it can also be used for unlocking NFC-enabled doors (when they're available).
NFC has been a staple feature of many smartphones and tablets, even notebooks, speakers and cameras. Touted as the go-to solution for mobile banking and cashless payments, NFC hasn't really taken off as an e-payment standard. Projects like the NFC Ring can push the technology to the mainstream.
