Another good, practical and attractive product -- excellent work.
I have one quibble: I have noticed on both your tablet/phone stand and this that you do not include charging for these portable products. I am only one user, but battery life is a problem for me (and I imagine others, though you'd need to survey them). Stands without chargers mean I come back to clutter very quickly.
Otherwise tremendous work! Hopefully we'll see this one in Fast Co, too!
Great work Andy, you are going to be the next Jonathan Ive x3 in the very near future. Its a great product and your presentation was simple and direct.
But!, I have some few comments;
1. I really dont think you (anyone) needs an "App for this" product. As cool as apps are and have become, i dont agree with this simple product having a whole app for itself. You can illustrate the entire product Guide and the germ awareness on a two fold card/paper with a size of an iPhone4 in the product package, and put what ever visual/animation/video illustrations on the product web site.
2. You said "Docks and stand become obsolete", which agree 50%, but your presentation only showed a dock/stand for and 'iPhone'/mobile phones/Mp3 players, and you were not specific about the dock/stand being only mobile phones/mp3 players. Cus I doubt the Warp doc will/can dock an iPad. because someone may buy this product thinking he/she can dock and iPad or any tablet on it. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Here are some general answers to comments that came up:
- Sorry but the product is not available for purchase right now, it's just a concept for now. - The model is made from urethane high density foam and FDM rapid prototyping methods. - The photo of the dock in the presentation should have been an iPhone/iPod dock, the iPad dock is misleading- Warp is not for an iPad. - The App was just designed as a promotional function and is not vital to the product. I agree that Warp could stand by itself without the app.

This is fantastic! It combines three important things needed for my workspace. I'd buy it!
Love it! Great presentation man!
Can't wait for the day these posts end "and is now available in all major retailers..."
Nice idea with different colors. I prefer green :) Also, why did you use the old apple keyboard when you own the newer one?
Ü simply beautiful
Excellent as always, Andrew.
Just one thing: In the "the cleaner." section, you misspelled "purchased" in the little blurb for the rubber tips.
Thanks guys!
Marcus, I just prefer the tactile feel for longer typing.
Eugene, thanks for pointing it out. Fixed!
one word: genius
This is amazing.
I would buy this in an instant if it were available.
Great job, Andrew!
yeah please let me know where and when i can purchase one from
A little bit over-killed..... But it's OK
Amazing.
Keep it going, dude.
Awesome creation man..!!
Seriously cool, the design and usability are amazing!
Will this ever be put into production? - please say yes because i'd order one in a heart beat.
Keep up the good work Andrew!
Take care.

I like your minimalistic approach to things.
Hey Andrew
I've featured your work on my tech/design blog, I hope you don't mind :)

Remember me, Nii-Lami from Ghana- West Africa ;)
you're a genius, u rule "less is more" law.....now produce your idea with kickstarter. NOW.....
Agree with the earlier poster that the app is unnecessary but apart from that this should be up on ckie.com to get funded for production. I'd buy it.
I am ready to BUY NOW! When and where can i get it??? Great work, genius concept, love it!
Great work! But how can I buy this fabulous product ?
Hi this looks fantastic - but can it be purchased anywhere or directly from you???
Thanks
Thanks for all the comments!
