The Runcible 
Monohm, a startup manufacturer in Berkeley, California, has recently been working on a curved, circular, palm-sized phone named Runcible. The Runcible is currently being referred to as the "anti-smartphone". Phone companies have ben finding new ways to reform the general rectangle shaped appearances, but none
have taken on the challenge of a circular product. The Runcible creators take phone manufacturing to a new level. This device has to be created from scratch yet offers multiple new features.

While smartphones reflect larger, bulkier TV sets, the Runcible looks like a larger pocket watch system. Applications include social media overviews, compass mapping, streamlined information and new interaction systems. However, the most attractive features would be the single lens on the back and the curvature of the device. While smartphones are getting smaller and thinner, Runcible has taken a curvier and more "zen" approach.
