 Hi-tech furniture can be an interesting but more importantly functional addition to the interior design. Today we look at five hi-tech bed designs and design concepts that imagine the bed as a media-enhanced space enhanced with modern entertainment technologies

Hi-Can Bed designed by Edoardo Carlino which imagines the bed as a technological cube with a built-in theater screen and other media entertainment features like a music player and game console.

 Smart Bed by Ohea is an actual bed that is equipped with a special mechanism that makes bed itself allowing to spend some morning time with loved ones or simply enjoying  a morning without performing chores.
 Somnus New bed by Yoo-Pod Ltd. provides with Internet connection, audio-visual system with a drop-down screen and mechanized curtains. The Somnus New bed is more like an entertainment hub lit with LED lighting.
 Lomme bed by Agnieszka Bernacka is an egg-shaped hi-tech bed that provides with light, sound and massage therapies that were designed following the two-year research into sleep problems and habits.
 Ecotypic bed is a design concept that combines a bed with flower mini garden which adds dreamy touch to the technological design. Created by Sexin Design Ecotypic bed is equipped with LED reading lights, speakers for playing music and function as a built-in alarm clock, flower box, and an eco-friendly mechanism that converts all the motion in bed into energy. The bed also features straps to make it easier to workout and generate energy. Impresssive!

T-Mobile iPhone 5 may arrive early next year

T-Mobile has long been able to offer support for the iPhone on its network, but the carrier simply never sold the device in any of its stores. That might change, though, come early 2013. Morgan Stanley analyst Nick Delfas says that T-Mobile could “announce official iPhone distribution in early 2013.”







As it stands, T-Mobile is the only major US carrier that doesn’t sell the iPhone to its customers, but that could easily change. T-Mobile has been working on improving its network across the country. The carrier is currently working on a $4 billion project to beef up its 4G LTE network, and it launched unlimited 4G data plans last month.
This undertaking could be happening to make room for the iPhone 5, which features 4G LTE capabilities for the first time. T-Mobile also announced a couple weeks ago that it’s planning to merge with MetroPCS, which has been working hard to improve its own 4G LTE network. The merger will help T-Mobile increase its LTE reach across the country.
The analyst didn’t provide anymore details other than that the deal could help sell another one or two million iPhone 5 devices in the first quarter, which would be even more of a win for since Apple, its device would be reaching even more customers. Apple sold around 5 million iPhone 5s during opening weekend alone
