The Fleximus, designed to take photos and video, features a bendable body that can be used with a built-in viewfinder or with an attachable 3" display. The camera's simplified controls and flexible body let you shoot at "angles never imaginable before": snaked under a door, curved around a corner, or, as the man below is attempting, sighted directly up your anus.

Sadly, like many of Lebedev's designs, the Fleximus will likely be a bit too cool for any company to put into production. [artlebedev.com]

I don't know why this drawing shows a tank at the front of the truck, but I guess that in Russia people drive T-90s like in the US people drive Fords. I wish the technology was so cheap that this could be implemented for real, because I'm sure it would save a lot of lives on the road. [Engadget]

When you need room for just one appliance, the Rozetkus wall socket sits flat against the wall. But when you want to make room for four more items to plug in, the socket pops out, dramatically increasing its surface area.

And while some of you will be eagerly awaiting the pricing/availability of this product, knowing the power draw of my home theater system, I'm holding out for the 3-foot-long, 40-plug XXL edition. [YankoDesign via Engadget]

The Navigarius would have the round touchscreen, USB, microSD, and a cigarette lighter adapter, provided spaceships have those. I don't think I've ever seen a round screen in real life before, but it actually looks great for a GPS unit. There doesn't seem to be any immediate plan for this thing to ever go into production, but we can still gaze and hope. [Art Lebedev via Engadget]

For comparison, ThinkGeek sells the Optimus Maximus, the great grandpappy of the OLED-in-a-key concept, for a staggering $1600. Obviously, the OCZ doesn't match up to Art Lebedev's Cheeto-resistant masterpeice—fewer keys, limited colors, plainer styling—but come on, is it really 8.5% the keyboard the Optimus is?

The item isn't listed as shipping yet, though OCZ says they're on their way to retailers. [ZipZoomFly—Thanks, Justin!]

It's another brilliant concept from the Art Lebedev studio, but like many of their products the "when" and "how much" part of the equation may take some time to figure out. [Art Lebedev via Gizmodiva via Likecool]

Who has the biggest sausage? Who is getting the plumpest wiener? These burning, juicy, flame broiled questions and more can be answered through the mathematical magic of the spreadsheet. [Art. Lebedev via Craziest Gadgets]

Granted, Art Lebedev was trying to design a USB hub with a somewhat high concept—to resemble a prism. And granted, Art Lebedev isn't known for making things simple.

But still, that gallery of sketches and CGI makes my brain want to down a carton of Ben and Jerry's before curling up under a cold shower and weeping itself to sleep. [Art Lebedev via Craziest Gadgets]

For those who don't need a whole keyboard full of OLED buttons, Nikkai is showing off standalone units at CEATEC. The buttons are bulkier than anything on an Art Lebedev product, and seem to have three input states: depressed, tilted left and tilted right (or up and down, depending on orientation) which makes makes for what amounts to a highly versatile and communicative switch. A second type of button is a simpler in/out configuration, albeit with a larger screen.

I'm sure there's a highly practical application for such technology, but for the demonstration Nikkai just built them into a giant, OLED-infested control panel that looks to have been ripped from the basement of the Kremlin, circa 1985. Despite being too big to integrate into a traditional keyboard, the buttons will likely shine in the hands of DIYers if they're ever made available to consumers. [Akihabara]
