There’s no point in checking out iPhone 3G concepts any more, so we’d go out and assume that all the futuristic designs we see from now will be iPhone 3.0 wannabes. The device below might as well be the iPhone 3.0, that comes with a neat transparent body, 3G support, fully functional Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and 64GB internal memory.

The iPhone finally got rid of those “playful” curved edges, opting for a more serious look, at least in designer Isamu Sanada’s concept. It seems to be a thicker device now, but it may be an optical illusion. Also, this option of getting rid of the curved edges, seems to leave a lot of unused room at the iPhone 2.0’s top and bottom side.

This iPhone concept you can see below is in fact 4 gadgets in one, pretty much like the original Apple handset. The blue thingy is a music player, a mobile phone, a PDA and a digital camera. It comes with an intuitive interface and a simple design, plus a touchscreen at the top and an oval OLED display.
The blue iPhone’s oval shape and design allows it to be used with tons of accessories, just like the original iPod. Among those are cases and protective screens.

Wow! Check out that 3G iPhone…again?! It’s probably the fifth time I’m seeing the “real” deal handset, so I won’t believe any picture till I see the genuine launch date edition of the device. The iPhone 2.0 is yet again “plasticky” and curved, making rumour for a bigger battery in order to stand that 3G battery drainer.
It would be a pretty weird choice for Apple, now that even the MacBook and iPod aren’t white any more, but the even worse thing is that there’s no front camera for videocalls incorporated. Let’s just hope it’s a good Photoshop, not a bad spy pic.

Seems that there’s been an iPhone 3G design contest going on and we weren’t aware of that. We’ve got 3 great pics showing you what the iPhone 2.0 should look like. They were posted on Flickr by the user youngSPACE:
There’s also a specs list mentioned, that includes a sturdy titanium and glass design, an OLED screen, True GPS, iChat camera, 3G data speed and a removable battery (yay!). Add a standard headphone jack to that and a 3.2 megapixel camera that’s also video capable and a 32GB internal memory and we’ve got a hit.
The iPhone 2.0 also includes a Sleep Wake button, 2 neat speakers and it measures 4.5 inches (height), 2.4 inches (width) and 9mm (thickness).

We’ve just found out that there’s going to be another OLPC generation, the XO-2, getting launched in 2010, at a $75 price tag. But that’s no reason to stop us from imagining an even smaller, lighter and more portable device, with a tendency of becoming a smartphone, rather than a mini-notebook.
Great concept shown above, although it’s clear that we’re dealing with 2 joint iPhone devices. OLPC XO-2 Nano? Could be, but that will turn into a rather thick device. The Apple folks might be drawing some conclusions from such simple mockups.

Gamers? iPhone fans? Thought so… Seemingly there’s not “one ring to rule them all”, but there’s a pretty neat device that will turn your iPhone into a PSP, at least when it comes to gaming controls and experience plus design.
The iControlPad is only a prototype for now, but I’m guessing it’ll hit the market till Christmas. Keep in mind that it also works with the iPod Touch, in case you’ve chosen the iPhone’s “phoneless” twin. More details HERE.

While everyone’s focusing on 3G iPhone rumours, one might easily notice that there might be another Apple-branded surprise coming in June. How about an iPlay console launched by Steve Jobs’ company, just in time to battle the Nokia N-Gage platform?
Of course, these are only rumours we’re dealing with, but the prospective of such a device sure sounds nice, on a market where the PSP and Nintendo DS rule and will continue to rule for at least 2 or 3 years. We’ve seen what the iPhone SDK can do, in terms of gaming, so the potential is there, now it’s up to the new hardware to do the magic.

Gizmodo had the great idea of challenging its readers to design the most ridiculous iPhone 2 concepts ever seen. They came up with dozens of mockup ideas, ranging from bananas with the iPhone’s display on them to shoes featuring the same screen and even a band on Steve Ballmer’s hands pretending to the 3G iPhone.
Let me remind you that these concepts will never see the light of day (hopefully), unless Apple wants us to carry silly phones all over the place, making fools or ourselves. For the full list of 100+ iPhone 2 concepts, check out this gallery.

This conceptual design is by default a landscape device. Just look at the placement of its home button and you’ll see what I’m talking about. Of course it can be used a normal iPhone, but that leaves an extra piece of the device’s body “hanging” on the side. Hmm, if we use it in landscape mode, we’ve got a wide “fattie”. Is it worth it?
