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

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.

Apple Mac Folder, the Apple Netbook You’ve Been Dreaming About

16/03/2010 01:57 par slaytane

While many of us are hoping and waiting for a new MacBook, maybe even an Apple netbook to get launched this summer, together with the new iPhone, concepts are starting to surface, portraying the future of the MacBook series. This time we’re dealing with the Mac Folder, designed by Tryi Yeh and this device is a pretty hot netbook.

Mac Folder comes with a reworked UI based on the ones used on the iPod Touch and iPhone, a multi-touch screen and a very, very slim case.

I’m ready to bet that the display is something like 8.9 inches, considering the size and placement of the keys, but the netbook is surely a looker, so we hope it’ll reach production or at least Apple will borrow some of its traits.

iPhone Pro Concept Is Made Out of Recyclable Materials, Upgrades Current Features

We’ve seen an iPhone Pro concept before, with very interesting specs, but this time we’ve stumbled upon a design bearing the same name and more or less the same features, plus some eco-friendliness.

The iPhone Pro concept uses a multi-touch LED backlit display and the device is made out of recyclable aluminium and glass, in order to save the Planet while using the latest technologies. There’s also a 3.2 megapixel camera on board, a removable battery and 16 or 32 GB of flash memory.

Will this make the cut, or are we dealing with the usual 2010-ish design?

iPhone Magnet

While the web is buzzing about the new iPhone, coming this summer, more and more concepts keep surfacing, feeding our need for new designs and features. Among those newcomers there’s also a design created by Adam Hutchinson and we’ll call the device “iPhone Magnet”, since its most appealing feature is a magnetometer.

This new iPhone concept comes with a 32GB internal memory, a frontal video camera, video voicemail support, a digital compass (magnetometer), realistic games (aided by the compass) and color-based notifications shown by the Home button.

Also, you should know that this original iPhone packs a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and probably video recording.

Netbook Concept is Promising, 2009ish Enough

Apple has something hot ready for this summer, that’s for sure, but will the rumoured netbook manage to impress us and challenge the Eee PCs to a duel? Till the time of its launch, we have a look at the Apple netbook concept below, created by Wendy Lui, from the Retrevo team.

Turns out that this futuristic netbook will feature a gestured-based touchpad, a neat camera, a GPS, an accelerometer, stereo speakers and even a 3.5mm jack. Now, let’s guess the size of the display… Classic 10 inch? Less? Touchscreen, anyone?

Mac Funamizu is back and this is no April’s Fools, since he has created a very neat iPhone stand concept, that incorporates a touchscreen, speaker and projector. The iPhone can be docked at the top and the stand can be tilted to the side, allowing the photos, songs and video files to spread around just like water flow, coming out of a fountain.

These images will disappear in a couple of seconds, but if you touch them, they’ll be played (audio and video) and viewed (image). The incredible part will be revealed now: once the round dish surrounding the stand is full of images, they’ll be “spilled” on the surrounding area, thanks to the incorporated projector.

Afterwards, you’ll manipulate the files are you please, but now displayed as larger thumbnails. There’s also a full screen mode and if you ask me, this great concept idea slaps Microsoft’s Surface with a trout. Great work Mac!

E-Pod Is the iPhone Dock Concept

Aside from concept phones and other portable devices, we sometimes take some time to check out concept accessories, like this iPod/iPhone dock. The E-Pod is a Eun Seok Huh creation and plays the part of a speaker, movie projector, alarm clock and… obviously a dock.

The device is the size of a regular alarm clock and it packs stereo speakers, Hi-Fi Stereo Sound, an LCD display and a woofer. I really like the design, although the whole tilting dock thing could prove to lack stability, in the long run.
