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?

Clamshells are extremely popular right now, in fact, so popular, that we’re surprised that the original iPhone wasn’t a clamshell in the first place. Nothing that can’t be solved with an Apple patent, though. Apple’s most recent patent application is called “Dual sided trackpad” and basically turns the iPhone into a dual touchscreen clamshell, the iPhone 2.0 concept phone if you want.
The cool iPhone above is a Photoshop rendering of Apple’s patent, showing an entirely new concept, that features the display and touch panel as two separate units. Interestingly enough, this panel is touch sensitive on both its sides and a hinge comes into play turning Apple’s hit into a flip phone.
Keep the handset closed and the transparent panel covers the display and makes the phone a regular iPhone, but once you open it, you’ll be able to use the other side of the panel as a multi touch input device.

While most of the world’s waiting for the 3G version of the iPhone, some of us are already thinking about the next-gen handset produced by Apple. An “iPhone 2″ mirage concept surfaced on the Education First Educational Tours page available on iTunes… Well, it’s a Zune-like device placed at the corner of an image. Whan do you make of that?

LiveSpeakR is the latest concept portable speaker system that will turn your iPhone into a genuine boombox. It’s been introduced by D&G solutions and it was created by Erik Groset. This device runs on 2 AAA batteries or gets its “juice” with the aid of an AC adapter.
The speakers you see above can rotate and expand/contract as you switch from portrait to landscape mode and back. What’s neat about this system is that the accessories can even fit inside your pocket, taking portable fun to a new level. Don’t be sad about the fact that this is only a concept, since D&G Solutions are looking for a manufacturer to mass-produce LiveSpeakR.
Think we’ll see these speakers hitting the market in time for the summer holiday?
PS: Family Guy Rocks! (couldn’t help it)

Well, this concept MacBook Nano you can see below seems to be work of the fellows from Stuff magazine, also responsible for that beautiful PSP Phone I’ve shown you the other day. This may be a conceptual device, but I have two questions for you: what’s with all the hype surrounding it and why is the text around it written in Czech?
Everyone seems agitated after seeing the photo on Flickr, but why? Was it announced and I missed it? Is that DVD drive so important it’s worth dying for? Or is it the touchscreen and familiar UI making the word go out? I doubt that Apple can still squeeze an optical drive into such a small device and since they’re keen on flash memory anyway, there’ no reason to go back to such options.
