Globus Mobile Is Office in a Bubble

The Globus Mobile is a complete office workstation and chair hidden in a large ball. The concept by designer Michiel van der Kley can be moved to any place using its hidden wheels. When you want to work, you just swivel it open and bingo: you can slot in a laptop, perch on the padded chair and think up as many chicken-and-egg or ping-pong ball jokes as you like.

Possio GRETA Combination Printer, Scanner, Fax and Cellphone

Possio used 3GSM to launch the GRETA GSM Fax & Printer. This all-in-one unit combines, you guessed it, a fax machine, printer, copier, scanner... and a cellphone? Well, you can make cellular calls with it, but it's not exactly the size of most cellphones. What Possio was smoking when they came up with that idea we'll never know, but it could be useful for all those so-called road warriors, busily working from the road. The device hooks up to a PC via a USB connection and, in the words of Steve Jobs, boom! instant office.

And people complained that all they wanted was a cellphone that works. Indeed. – Nicholas Deleon

Mobile Office Concept

In our personal future utopia more people get to work from home in their pajamas, but if that never comes to pass we guess we might be seeing things like like British designer James Mower's mobile concept office, a temporary workplace designed for businesses so they can bring their offices closer to their clients:

The new innovation will allow organisations to save money as they can deploy their mobile office at prime locations without having to rent expensive rooms. James is proposing that by using the built-in GPS system, his futuristic mobile office will allow consultants to agree GPS co-ordinates with clients, so that they can meet at the new office.

We can't really see this being too useful in congested cities—where would one ever park this in London or New York?—but it would make more sense at trade shows, where space and privacy are always at premiums.
