iPod Shuffle2020, Portable Music Player of the Future
Since iPhone concepts seem to have vanished now that the iPhone 4 was announced, let’s focus a bit on iPod designs. One such nifty initiative comes from José Ignacio Martínez, who created the very interesting iPod Shuffle2020, the portable music player of the year 2020. What’s surprising about this unit is that it comes with unlimited music and battery capacity.
WWDC 2010’s first keynote has jus ended, with Steve Jobs introducing the brand new iPhone 4… not the iPhone 4G, not the iPhone HD. The device is everything we knew from the leaks and Gizmodo analysis, but the design it not at all surprising, specially when compared to these concepts.
Since iPhone concepts seem to have vanished now that the iPhone 4 was announced, let’s focus a bit on iPod designs. One such nifty initiative comes from José Ignacio Martínez, who created the very interesting iPod Shuffle2020, the portable music player of the year 2020. What’s surprising about this unit is that it comes with unlimited music and battery capacity.
The device is able to sync with iTunes via “G3 connection” each time it’s turned on, so the music will always be there and the same “G3 waves” will provide the energy to charge the player, keeping it forever functional. iPod Shuffle2020 relies on the HyperSoundSystem technology, that makes the ultrasound waves travel directly to the inner ear, so the user is not required to wear earphones.
Noise cancelling technology is also on board and we learn that we’ll have to slide a finger up or down the player’s touchpad to change the volume or song. iPod Shuffle2020 is an intuitive gadget, that supports multitouch and also talks to the users, telling them which song and artist they’re listening to.
iPhone 4 Unveiled at WWDC 2010; Still Less Impressive than iPhone Concepts
WWDC 2010’s first keynote has jus ended, with Steve Jobs introducing the brand new iPhone 4… not the iPhone 4G, not the iPhone HD. The device is everything we knew from the leaks and Gizmodo analysis, but the design it not at all surprising, specially when compared to these concepts.
iPhone 4 features 16GB or 32GB of memory, it comes in white or black and uses a 3.5 inch Retina display, with multitouch support and 960 x 640 pixel resolution at 326 dpi. This screen supports a 800:1 contrast ratio and its covered in a fingerprint-resistant oleophobic coating. There’s also a 5 megapixel camera on board, with LED flash and the ability to capture HD 720p videos @30 fps.
Apple’s brand new iPhone uses a three-axis gyro, an accelerometer, a proximity sensor and an ambient light sensor, as well. Of course, Bluetooth and WiFi are on board, as well as UMTS/HSDPA and GSM/EDGE. A front camera was also included and the battery provides 7 hours of 3G talk time, 300 hours of standby, 10 hours of video playback and 40 hours of audio playback. The CPU of choice is developed in-house, being the Apple A4.
Steve Jobs mentioned that iPhone OS 4 was turned into iOS 4, that comes with multitasking, an improved inbox and a couple of extra features, like iAd mobile advertising integration. What do you say? Is this what you imagined or you prefer concepts?
Yes folks, we’re pretty positive at this point that the fourth generation iPhone will be called iPhone HD. In half an hour of so, Steve Jobs will open WWDC 2010 and announce the brand new iPhone HD. This supposed iPhone 4G was present on our site a couple of times, as concepts an designs, plus we’ve shown you photos of the prototype an Apple employee lost a while back.
Here’s a list of the best iPhone 4G concepts, for you to compare with the real thing coming out today. Don’t forget to cast a LIKE on our fresh Facebook account.
iWatch, an Apple Watch Concept Made by Antonio De Rosa
There’s also a RSS Reader on board, 16GB of internal memory, a weather forecast system and the possibility of connecting the watch with the iPad or iPhone via WiFi. Probably the most appealing feature of the Apple watch concept is the LCD projector it incorporates, able to show images (hopefully video, too) anytime and anywhere.
Great idea and hopefully we’ll see it turned into reality some day…
