Some of you might remember the Sony Ericsson concept phone below, while to others it may seem brand new. One thing is for sure: the folks of Mobilissimo have come up with an interesting theory, regarding the fact that this handset’s design, dating from 3 years back might have been the inspiration for the iPhone 4.
The design is still good enough to impress everyone even in 2010, when sliding phones with tiny displays and physical keys aren’t so cool any more. We can’t really say that Apple copied this look, but they could have used some of its traits on the newest iPhone. We wonder why Sony Ericsson didn’t take the same route…

We usually deal with phones on this site, but this iPhone 4 accessory was simply too cool to ignore. We’re talking about the steel case pictured below, designed by Ryan Glasgow for LtdTools. Believe it or not, the product has become real and it’s available on the market for $95 and it solves the iPhone 4 antenna issues.
Its features include a stainless steel body, an elastic band that allows the case to hold cards, delrim fastener housings, a hinged lid and tabs for easy opening. The large camera cutout leaves enough room for the wide angle iPhone 4 flash on the device and the case’s backplate was removed, as you can see in the images, to reduce weight.
Sure wish Apple was handing out such cases for free…

Everyone wants a piece of that Facetime action on the iPhone 4 and some are not afraid to get it, as shown by the following iPad case concept. Created by Chet Rosales, this Apple tablet accessory is called iPad Cam-Case and it finally implements a camera on the famous slate.
Said camera can be rotated and used to capture the user’s face during a videochat session. You’ll find the video capture component in the corner of the case, working in both landscape and portrait views. The case relies on a rubber-plastic layer for extra grip.
Also, this accessory’s bottom half slides you can insert the iPad in it and there’s a port at the bottom for docking purposes.

The iPhone 4 may be only two days away from reaching your hands, but we stop now and have a look at the device’s future. If things are going the way they are, somewhere in 2030, your Apple handset might look something like this:
This is an incredible video with great effects and we really wonder if that “neural interface” can really be achieved. As you can see, in the fast-text-scrolling side of the video, the futuristic iPhone will be scratch-proof, it’ll sport a walkie-talkie feature, a GPS, an iPet function and “thought control”.

Since iPhone concepts seem to have vanished now that the iPhone 4 was announced, let’s focus a bit on iPod designs. One such nifty initiative comes from José Ignacio Martínez, who created the very interesting iPod Shuffle2020, the portable music player of the year 2020. What’s surprising about this unit is that it comes with unlimited music and battery capacity.
The device is able to sync with iTunes via “G3 connection” each time it’s turned on, so the music will always be there and the same “G3 waves” will provide the energy to charge the player, keeping it forever functional. iPod Shuffle2020 relies on the HyperSoundSystem technology, that makes the ultrasound waves travel directly to the inner ear, so the user is not required to wear earphones.
Noise cancelling technology is also on board and we learn that we’ll have to slide a finger up or down the player’s touchpad to change the volume or song. iPod Shuffle2020 is an intuitive gadget, that supports multitouch and also talks to the users, telling them which song and artist they’re listening to.

WWDC 2010’s first keynote has jus ended, with Steve Jobs introducing the brand new iPhone 4… not the iPhone 4G, not the iPhone HD. The device is everything we knew from the leaks and Gizmodo analysis, but the design it not at all surprising, specially when compared to these concepts.
iPhone 4 features 16GB or 32GB of memory, it comes in white or black and uses a 3.5 inch Retina display, with multitouch support and 960 x 640 pixel resolution at 326 dpi. This screen supports a 800:1 contrast ratio and its covered in a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. There’s also a 5 megapixel camera on board, with LED flash and the ability to capture HD 720p videos @30 fps.
Apple’s brand new iPhone uses a three-axis gyro, an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor, as well. Of course, Bluetooth and WiFi are on board, as well as UMTS/HSDPA and GSM/EDGE. A front camera was also included and the battery provides 7 hours of 3G talk time, 300 hours of standby, 10 hours of video playback and 40 hours of audio playback. The CPU of choice is developed in-house, being the Apple A4.
Steve Jobs mentioned that iPhone OS 4 was turned into iOS 4, that comes with multitasking, an improved inbox and a couple of extra features, like iAd mobile advertising integration. What do you say? Is this what you imagined or you prefer concepts?

Yes folks, we’re pretty positive at this point that the fourth generation iPhone will be called iPhone HD. In half an hour of so, Steve Jobs will open WWDC 2010 and announce the brand new iPhone HD. This supposed iPhone 4G was present on our site a couple of times, as concepts an designs, plus we’ve shown you photos of the prototype an Apple employee lost a while back.
Here’s a list of the best iPhone 4G concepts, for you to compare with the real thing coming out today. Don’t forget to cast a LIKE on our fresh Facebook account.

Antonio De Rosa has created a couple of pretty interesting iPhone concepts before, but now he’s trying something new: an Apple watch. The iWatch design is pictured below and it comes with an alumium body, WiFi support and Bluetooth among others.
There’s also a RSS Reader on board, 16GB of internal memory, a weather forecast system and the possibility of connecting the watch with the iPad or iPhone via WiFi. Probably the most appealing feature of the Apple watch concept is the LCD projector it incorporates, able to show images (hopefully video, too) anytime and anywhere.
Great idea and hopefully we’ll see it turned into reality some day…

Seraphan’s latest iPhone 4G concept was the perfect occasion to break it to you: the new Apple handset will feature a 5 megapixel camera, as the folks of iSpazio have found out over here. Rumours and fresh info aside, what you’re looking at below is a 3D concept of the iPhone 4G prototype, designed by Seraphan.
This 64GB iPhone perfectly mimics the design of the prototype lost in an US bar in March by an Apple employee. As far as the camera at the back is concerned, it appears that LG Innotek will supply 5 megapixel sensors for the iPhone 4G, once it enters mass production.

Time for a break from the usual iPhone concepts, so now we’re checking out a wrist watchphone with the iPod branding on. Created by Matthew Seibert, the iPod TiMPO features the same iPhone OS interface, a couple of front buttons, a Home button, a capacitive touchscreen display and wireless earbuds.
The wristband of this iPod watchphone is really cool and we’re really curious how this concept managed to escape the iPhone branding. I’d see a generation of kids wearing these devices around their wrists, with the advantage of the handset incorporating a microSD card slot. Let’s see if this becomes a real product in 10 years…
