Remember the Microsoft Surface technological table? This concept was forgotten a while ago, but some people are fond of it, like Adam Benton who created an equivalent in the Apple universe, the iDesk concept. Published on Maclife, this design features a huge chunk of touchscreen being used as a workaholic’s desk, with the ability to sync to all of the iDevices on the table.
This device is able to sync with any iOS gadget placed on it and it doesn’t even need a mouse, as the whole touch area is a giant trackpad. You can make calls, edit Office documents, view Adobe files and watch vides straight on the iDesk. This huge workspace also seems to project a virtual mouse and maybe keyboard too, unless you like the normal one. I guess you can also scan pictures with it and instantly post them online, if it’s not too much to ask. This desk could either have a Mac built in or connect to one that you already own.
All content is synced within iCloud and kept up to date with all your other devices. You can also move around the stuff you need, like on a real desk… For example, you can move the Facebook statuses aside, open a YouTube video, resize a picture, check an email and open a new document, all of that while drinking coffee. Would you buy such a device even if cost… let’s say $2000 or $3000?

Quicktake
23/09/2012 01:40 par slaytane
We’ve seen an Apple camera concept before, but this model is also interesting, as it comes with all the details one needs to know about it. The design here involves glass and recycled aluminum and you must know that the Apple QuickTake has a very long battery life and its GUI looks like the one of the iPad. This design was created by Joseph Dumary, a name you’ve surely heard on our website before.
The Quicktake is considered the first smart digital camera and it comes with a microphone that can record HD sound, while eliminating extra noise. There’s also Voice Control enabled so you can take pictures just by saying things. The camera lens supports 32 megapixel pics, 1080p videos without compression and this is the first rotating camera lens in the world. There’s an Eyefocus+ feature in the vide mode, that can target someone by reproducing the effect of the human eyes and create an incredible focus effect.
This Apple camera’s modes include a slow motion one, 3D panorama mode, HDR, 60 fps burst mode, image stabilization, eye tracking and more. This device uses LED flash units, that operate independently from one another and deliver perfect photos and videos, even in low light. The screen on the camera is a Retina Mini Cinema HD touchscreen with IPS technology,, that’s extra wide and supports 360 degree swiveling. The camera also comes with GPS, WiFi, Airprint, Airplay, Photobooth, Edi models, YouTube upload and Flickr.

Iwatch 2

The creator of the first Apple iWatch and the iCam camera, ADR Studio has now come up with the iWatch 2 concept, that’s shown below. It’s been two years since the first iWatch design, that was praised and published on Gizmodo and Wired. Now there’s a new device, one that integrates WiFi, Bluetooth, a RSS reader and 32GB of memory.
You also get a weather forecast feature, the ability to connect to the iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth or WiFi and a LCD projector, plus front facing camera. The Apple iWatch 2 has a casing that reminds me of a jewel, with a very original slide to open box. The watch has a slim design, uses a polycarbonate main body, an aluminum chassis, PK2 Kevlar insert and a bracelet in 5 colors with polycarbonate insert.
I expect here the battery life to be simply amazing and in case you’re wondering if this thing it’s real, know that it’s a mere concept for now, but people have been wearing their iPod nano units like watches, by attaching bracelets to them. That’s as close to a real iWatch as you’re ever going to get… at least till Apple makes it. Once again great job for ADR Studio, that has some fantastic designs, I must admit…

MacPad

Designer Jules Moretti imagined the perfect portable device from Apple, the MacPad Pro. This concept laptop is a hybrid between the famous iPad and the MacBook Pro and it obviously integrates a touch display, plus a touch keyboard. The display and keyboard seem to share one common touch area with a very minor hinge.
Basically we’re dealing with two iPads united through a hinge and working together at the same time. The unit is a lightweight device, that can be held as a book, if you want to. It hasn’t got Ethernet and Firewire 800 ports, in order to keep the body thinner, but at least we get 3 USB 3.0 ports and Thunderbolt connectors. I imagine that the battery life will be huge here, around 20 hours or so, considering an iPad gives you about 10 hours of functioning time.
I’m also expecting a different keyboard layout on the keyboard touch area, I mean different from the one on the iPad, since the keys can now occupy the entire screen, or maybe go with the split screen view. Finally, I wonder if there’s a need to implement a virtual touchpad or not, considering there’s so much screen area to touch… I can imagine the MacPad Pro as the perfect tool for designers and maybe sometime in the future we’ll see a PhotoShop Touch meant for this experience.

Ipad 3

Bob Freking is back with an unlikely design, an iPad 3 concept. I say unlikely because Apple will most likely not change its classic iPad design with one that has rounded corners, as shown to us by Bob. The device’s shape reminds me of the HP TouchPad or the Motorola Xoom 2 and honestly speaking I fancy the shape of the iPad 2 more.
This slate comes with a Retina Display, an Apple A5X chip (advanced dual core chip), an 8 megapixel camera with flash, the same as the one on the iPhone 4S and support for 1080p video capture. Rumors say that the tablet will be thicker, so it is, according to the designer. Bob Freking expects to see an “ASUS Transformer Prime made by Apple with less ports”. March 7th is when the REAL iPad 3 will be launched, so keep an eye out for news on the new slate on that day.
Also, people seem to be favouring the name iPad HD for the new product, considering its incredible Retina Display. Other things to look out for are NFC, LTE and maybe a quad core, not dual core CPU on the next gen iPad. Excited for March 7th?

Iphone Pro

We’ve published an iPhone Pro concept before, but this new Pro model has nothing to do with the previous one, since it’s an even more evolved idea. The creation of Jinyoung Choi, the iPhone Pro has as main appealing feature the mount at the back supporting a variety of accessories, including DSLR lenses.
The handset comes with a 4.5 inch 1280 x 800 pixel display, a 1.2 megapixel 3D camera and a body that measures 9.6mm in thickness. The iPhone Pro uses a a wide LCD with 2 side buttons and the 3D camera cam hook up to a DSLR lens for the best of result. Projector capability and a portable speaker, plusa removable hard disk are all features compatible with this model. For all that DSLR processing I guess that a quad core Apple A6 processor is required and also a very sturdy body, to keep that photo taking accessory in place.
The projector accessory with speaker included is very cool looking and it’s brilliantly attached to that mount at the back. You could connect anything to that special port, that I consider to be a great idea. Kudos to the designer of this iPhone concept and I sure hope that Apple will take a cue from his ideas. Rumors say that we might actually see a 4.5 inch display on the iPhone 5, so fingers crossed.
Iphone 5 S

It’s been a while since the last iPhone concept and here’s a fresh one by Hasan Kaymak. Meet the iPhone 5S, that features a quad core 1.5 GHz processor and a Full HD Retina Display. I guess that we’re at least one year away from 1080p phones, but if there’s anyone to debut that technology, then that’s Apple.
The iPhone 5S features a 2100 mAh battery, supports a wireless charging, Bluetooth 4.0 and iOS 6.0 as the software of choice. The device’s display diagonal is 4.5 inches and other features included are NFC, 4G LTE+ connectivity and Gorilla Glass 2 technology. The design is not something unexpected, to tell the truth: a slab of metal shaped in a rectangular form and looking a bit like a HTC meets an Xperia to me. There’s also a 12.1 megapixel iSight camera at the back, that I suppose will rule the cameraphone segment for years.
A quad core 1080p phone may happen towards the end of the year and it may come from Samsung, maybe HTC or maybe even Apple. I’m pretty sure they’ll move to quad core processing, but to 1080p not quite… Also, iPhone 5S makes me think about 2013 rather than 2012.

Ipad 4
23/09/2012 00:18 par slaytane
Now that the iPad 3 craze is over, it’s time to look into the future and catch a glimpse of the iPad 4. Luis Fonseca from Portugal had an idea for an iPad 4 concept, that involves a physical keyboard and an interesting design. This new iPad is based on other Apple products blended into a single unit.
The iPad 4 features a built in keyboard, that slides from the bottom of the slate. It features Bang & Olufsen speakers, a 12 megapixel 1080p camera, an aluminum frame and the ability to be easily maintained and recycled. The idea here is to design the perfect laptop replacement and also the complete tablet. With this new device, you’ll forever replace the need for a laptop or netbook. A portable hard disk is also included in this bundle to keep the data safe, but with iCloud out there, I don’t quite see the need for it.
From the looks of the device I imagine that there’s a way to prop up the screen and still use the keyboard, or else the typing angle would be weird. Also I’m hoping for maybe a 7 or 8 inch diagonal here to keep the device portable and turn it into the iPad Mini that everyone wants. What do you say? A quad core CPU would also fit right in!

If you want the ideal image of the iPad Mini look no further than Justin Quinn’s work. The designer from USA imagined the design, price and specs of the 7 inch iPad and created the device using 3Ds Max and rendering in V-Ray. We’re dealing here with a 7 inch slate, available only in WiFi version and with a single storage choice: 16GB.
The reasons behind the lack of storage choices and 3G are the cut down on costs. This iPad Mini concept features a 7 inch OLED display with 16:9 aspect ratio and 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. The supposed price of the gadget is $299 and users also get 4GB of free cloud storage, while other specs include an Apple A5x dual core 1 GHz proccessor, a front 2MP camera and back 5MP cam, the same sensor as on the new iPad. The battery should provide 12 hours of life and on the connectivity side we get Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi.
To me this model looks more like a bigger iPhone, than a smaller iPad. I particularly like the shot that shows it playing video, since the bezel-free screen offers a great playback experience, apparently. The designer said nothing about the edge to edge screen, so maybe it’s just an optical illusion. Would you buy such a product?

Lumia 1001

We have seen some lovely Nokia concept phones before, created by the sameJonas Daehnert and now here’s a fresh one. The Nokia Lumia 1001 is even more beautiful than the freshly launched Lumia 920 and 820 and it brings an air of elegance and finesse to the series. The new Lumias are bulky, massive and heavy, but this one seems slimmer.
I particularly like the lower side of the handset, that somehow seems a bit Apple-inspired to me, if I think about the iPhone 5 renders I’ve seen lately, which is a good thing. Under the display that I dare to speculate is a 4.5 inch HD unit, we find 3 capacitive buttons and on the side we find the buttons with a changed look. Gone are those faux metal buttons and here are some faux rubber ones, if I may say so. I can’t seem to spot a camera button, while at the top there’s a mystery tray, that’s actually prety big, big enough to host both the SIM and microSD together.
This is a fantastic design and the choice of color, that brown-gray is interesting. IF you look closely you’ll see that the top part is a bit sloped downwards, which is also a nice touch. I seem to spot a tiny LED next to the audio jack, also a nifty addition. And the front camera is more discrete than ever. And now some speculated specs: 4G LTE, dual core or quad core Snapdragon S4 CPU, 32 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM, 12 megapixel PureView camera and 1280 x 768 pixel resolution. Too bad we can’t see this baby’s back!
