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.
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.
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).
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.
