Ambient Ring
If this isn't a quality usage of ambient signifiers I just don't know what is: The Remember Ring. When the date that you set is coming up, the ring will heat up for short periods of times to remind you. What a great concept!
I would love to see somebody take it one step further and couple it with some initial ubiquitous computing concepts. For example, all of my meeting reminders could be synced (without actually having to dock it) with my ring. I would then know, without looking at my clock, that the time has come to change tasks.
Between The Remember Ring and the soon to be released Phone Watch, tech geeks may just be getting somewhere.
