Twitterers Get Pocket Tweets

1 July 2009 10:44 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

"Pocket Tweets" is described as a mobile phone-display enabled Twitter shirt for everyday use.

"Why invent a new screen when the mobile phone, our private mobile window to the digital world is already there?" ask the Rotterdam V2_, Institute for the Unstable Media.

A Java application developed by Simon de Bakker can display the latest tweet from a selected account and displays the message on the screen of a phone, peering out from a doctored shirt pocket, although you're on your own for the sewing.

"The ubiquitous mobile phone turns a normal shirt into wearable technology. The private screen of the mobile phone becomes a public display", say the creators of the concept.
