Macview Apple Tablet Concept Features Dual Touchscreen Displays

19/03/2010 18:35 par slaytane

The Apple iPad should be real in less than two days, but till its debut we feast our eyes with one more tablet concept, the Macview, created by Patrycjusz Brzezinski. This original device doesn’t feature a QWERTY keyboard, but it uses two touchscreen displays, one of them serving as the virtual keyboard.

Based on Mac OS X, this Apple Tablet is very slim, with a 7mm waistline and we learn that Macview also comes with a battery able to last 10 hours, 1TB SSD memory and 4GB RAM. WiFi and Bluetooth are also supported, as well as Ebooks, video playback and a 1152 x 720 pixel resolution.

Safari will be the browser of choice on this supposed iPad and if you’re wondering about size, the product measures 24 x 15.6 cm. I haven’t seen the real Apple device just yet, but if we were to believe the leaks online, this concept is far better than the real thing.

4G Concept and Roundup of Rumours Revealed; Front Camera and Touch Case Included

19/03/2010 18:33 par slaytane

We’re in 2010, folks, the year of the Apple Tablet debut and the iPhone 4G release, so let’s face it: we’ve got to prepare for the next gen iPhone. We don’t yet know if Apple will change the handset’s design, but we wouldn’t mind if it would look something like this:

There’s also a pretty neat roundup of rumours concerning the new device made by Cupertino, all of them comprised in the following image (click to enlarge). Among those, it’s very likely that the iPhone 4G will sport an OLED display, a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, a front facing video camera and a dual core processor and more RAM.

It’s interesting to note that the launch of the product, supposed to take place between May and July is considered a 99% sure fact. Speculations regarding the next gen iPhone also mention the presence of a touch sensitive case (making the handset resemble the Magic Mouse), 64GB of NAND flash memory, portable DVR functionality and built-in RFID.

Tablet Concept Looks Surreal – Magic Slate, the Right Name

19/03/2010 18:31 par slaytane

Guess what we received on our email address a couple of days ago? Yes, you’ve got it, a brand new Apple Tablet concept and this time it’s dubbed both the iSlate and Magic Slate, so you can pick the name you like. The man behind this brilliant design is Rodolphe Desmare, who we thank and give thumbs up for his ideas.

The Magic Slate/iSlate looks like a full touchscreen device, incredibly thin and compatible with the famous iPhone apps, that’ll probably be reformatted for it. We’re really curious if the display is a 7 inch or a 10 inch screen, as the latest online speculations have claimed…

This might just be the very last concept we see before the real Apple Tablet gets launched. In case you forgot, Apple has an official event scheduled on January 26th (some say 27th), so we’ve got 20 more days of doubt and mystery.

Tablet Prototype by Lucas Rosa, a Combo Between Microsoft Courier and a WACOM

Just when you think that everyone’s forgotten about the Apple tablet, here it comes again, smacking us right in the head with novelty. This time, we’re dealing with a prototype of the device, or better said some very cool photo manipulation and render, done by Lucas Rosa. This “miniature laptop in tablet form” is some sort of hybrid between Microsoft Courier and a WACOM tablet.

Nintendo DS was also used as an inspiration for the device, that supports gestures, like flipping virtual pages. Also, you should know that the iSlate or Netslate (would be names for the concept) measures about 14 x 21 cm and comes with two foldable parts, connected by a flexible hinge. The tablet uses the iPhone’s OS with some features taken from the desktop Mac OS X.

Pinching gesture is also supported, plus annotations, additional layers of information and even gaming, with virtual controls onscreen . The display on this tablet concept is an AMOLED, thin and energy saving, while the memory is all SSD. USB and FireWire are not included, but WiFi and Bluetooth are, as well as induction charging. Hot concept!

The rumour of the day is accompanied by a cool picture of a Mac Tablet concept, but the info is truly interesting: turns out that Apple is also readying 13 inch and 15 inch tablet versions, aside from the standard 10 inch one.

A Gizmodo source claims that prototypes of the new Apple Tablets are available right now in the Shenzuen Apple factory in China. The new tablets look like oversized iPhones made out of aluminium and some of them run OS X, according to the same source.

Apple has a special event scheduled for September, but don’t expect its tablet to be launched there… My money’s on a new iPod Touch with a camera, but we’ll have to wait and see.

iPod Slide Looks Great; Designed by Tryi Yeh

19/03/2010 18:20 par slaytane

If you look up Tryi Yeh’s works on our site, you’ll surely be impressed by his view of the future and the phones he designed. This time, he envisions a sliding iPod, a very neat concept that can be checked out below.

iPod slide combines the technology behind Apple’s iPod Touch and a sliding design. Notice the silver, slim and sleek body and also it’s interesting to mention the fact that the device can be controlled through thermal sensors, a premiere for Apple and most music player on the market.

Will the third gen iPod Touch look anything like this? What do you say?

Apple Tablet Leaks on the Web

19/03/2010 18:16 par slaytane

If there’s one thing that we love more than concepts that’s got to be the leaked pictures. The freshest of leaks is the one of the Apple tablet, that seems to be running some version of the OS X. We remind you that the iTablet is the rumoured 10 inch display portable device that Apple should be readying for this year.

Basically, this should be a bigger iPod Touch, running the iPod Touch OS, with the same Home button as the iPhone and probably a couple of specs that would make any Wacom or Sony product jealous. Fake?

MacBook Touch Design Relies on iSpine Technology, Flexible OLED

16/03/2010 02:12 par slaytane

We’ve shown you tons of Apple concepts lately, most of them being futuristic iPhones or netbooks that have what it takes to make it to the market. This time, we’ve come across a MacBook concept, designed by Tommaso Gecchelin and bearing the name of MacBook Touch. This tablet-like PC is malleable and it relies on flexible OLED technology.

The device is based on a technology called iSpine, resembling the spine of a book, in order to avoid screen compression. Thus, the display will be able to sit in multiple positions, while the laptop is in use. For example, you’ll be using a normal laptop with a display and touchscreen keyboard, passing to a widescreen canvas afterwards, if you want to draw or watch movies.

Another interesting idea is the implementation of the power, mini display and USB ports on a “Magic Dock”, that’s been created as an exterior component, that you’ll see in the one of the images below.

Netbook Concept Created by Adam Benton, Adds a Lot of iPhone In the Mix

16/03/2010 01:59 par slaytane

Yes, we’ve seen MANY Apple netbook concepts till now, but we’ll never get enough, at least till we see the real thing (this summer maybe?). The latest such concept was created by Adam Benton for MacFormat and looks like an oversized iPhone running iPhone OS 3.0.

The Home directory of the device will be stored via an Apple cloud server, while frequently used files will be cached locally. You’ll be able to charge the netbook via a dock and it’ll also connect to tons of other gizmos and gadgets via USB and FireWire ports. There’s also 3G connectivity on board, allowing you to sync with Apple servers, plus a Bluetooth A2DP audio profile.

In case you don’t dig the virtual keyboard, there’s always the option of pairing a hardware keyboard via Bluetooth, as seen in the image below.
