Apple triBook Features a 21 Inches Screen, MacBook With a Full Size Trackpad

14/03/2010 12:16 par slaytane

Open up your MacBook! No, really open it up… only to realize that there could be more opening done, if you had the latest Apple triBook device. Haven’t you heard? It’s the hottest item this Christmas. Everybody has one… Go get it!

Now that you’ve come back to your PC realizing that there’s no such thing in stores yet and that this is only a concept, learn this: the triBook might be more real than we think, specially since Apple’s always quiet about its hot new devices. What this new laptop brings to Apple’s series of portables is the huge screen, which gets two extra side displays, that make up a total of 21 inches of screen space to glance at.

Aside from the lateral folding screens, the Apple triBook also comes with a huge trackpad (the same size as the keyboard), an 8x SuperDrive, I/O connectors, a top notch HDD and the typical MacBook CPU.

Some folks still insist that this is a real device… What do you think?

For the Visually Impaired

Yes, it’s true, the iPhone is a charming gadget, but it doesn’t do any good to visually impaired users. Thankfully, Bruno Fosi designed a Silicon Touch iPhone case that works with a special app and delivers all the functions needed for people with visual impairments.
Text to speech and moon type tactile feedback are there and the case comes with bas-relief keys associated with the iPhone’s Home screen. You won’t believe it, but there’s also multi-touch support and scrolling for the visually impaired. Great idea!

iNetbook, Not Too Shabby of an Idea

14/03/2010 12:13 par slaytane

Truth be told, we love the MacBook, as for the iPhone… well it’s a decent phone after all, but is there something in between them? I mean a non-laptop, non-phone device? Shrink the MacBook, give it an iPhone-style design and you’ve got an “iNetbook”. Can you feel the fear, Eee PC

This mockup, concept or whatever you want to call it started out as a hint, right from the mouth of Steve Jobs, who talked about the netbook market and claimed that Apple has “some pretty interesting ideas if it does evolve”. Should we expect to see a touch tablet, an UMPC or a netbook

The Would-be Mac Concept Phone

14/03/2010 12:11 par slaytane

Petitinvention once again introduces a superb concept phone and, as far as I know, the creative genius behind this is an Apple fan, so my lucky guess (based on the device’s look) is that we might be dealing with a so-called Mac Phone. The designer of the device compares it to Nokia Aeon, but I think this is better and more original.

Notice the fancy keyboard (QWERTY and numeric), the brilliant touchscreen and the “Mac white” displayed by the device? Practically, the handset has no borders, so we’re talking full touchscreen, in an original way. If you ask me about the OS of thisconcept, I might say Android, but I don’t think that Google’s software is worthy enough to be emulated on this beauty…

This is the next logical step of evolution, the touchscreen-isation of every device (I invented a verb folks). As a proof of the trend of implementing touch-based displays on new devices, we have the MacBook Touch concept, designed by Petitinvention.

Imagine a lighter MacBook Air, with a virtual keyboard instead of the physical one… The use of two touchscreens makes the need of a mouse futile, now that we can use our fingers to navigate, click, zoom and select. Another plus is the fact that the virtual keys will always be lit, so you’ll be able to work even when the sun sets.

The nostalgic users will miss the sound and feel of pressing a button on their keyboard, but that can be easily solved with the aid of haptic technology and vibration feedback.

Next step? An even lighter and slimmer MacBook, with a single touchscreen and a small laser projector that displays a virtual keyboard on a flat surface.

iPhone Glows in a Trendy Way

Before starting the hunt for a new iPhone concept, we stop and check out a neat customization of the famous device. This modding allows the Apple symbol to glow and it was done in Russia, but hopefully it will hit the rest of the world soon.

Now we can only wait for a director’s cut of Lord of the Rings, where Frodo uses this light to find his way to Mordor (video of the mod in action below):

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.

3G Concept Looks Great

14/03/2010 02:47 par slaytane

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).

MacBook Nano, Better Than MacBook Air

14/03/2010 02:44 par slaytane

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 thatApple 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.
