Cool interactive Product

Looking at some successful product for teens (Me among them ), what i really learnt from current successful hip and cool perceived teenage technological product such as xbox, PS3 and the popular mobile phone, is that for teenager the technological function is very important but another very important factor of design is the form of the product and the way the teenager interact with them.

Most product designed for teen are small and portable as the teen like devices that are mobile and easy to carry around, and the basic form lacks sophistication. They prefer basic shape such as circles, squares, rectangle with the added curve and ergonomic feature into them. well I do....

Looking at some cool and hip product above such as the flip phone and very popular gaming device, the mechanism and interaction of a product is very important also, I'm a teenager my self and hey i want to feel hip and cool this can be achieved by some product by its interactive mechanism.
in the exampled product above they have incorporated the slide or flip mechanism in order for the teen to feel physically and emotionally involve with the product.
The XBOX 360 and the PS3 has corporates the slide mechanism to its CD input and out put and the hip top which every teenage girls perceived is cool after seeing them in GOSSIP GIRLS.

After looking at this concept of adding interactive features to make a product more cool or hip for teens, I'm going to try and incorporate this to my urban tribe assignment to my digitech alarm clock.
