I’m looking at an add for Microsfoft SQL Server just below the submit button. Did hell freeze over?
Some truths —
1. It’s ugly and inelegant, not to mention technically impossible.
2. If all you loser nerds trolling Mac sites think it’s “kewl”, then it most certainly is not. Ive’s eventual design will be sleeker, you can count on it.
Wow, that anti-gravity device built into the phone is freaking awesome. Too bad it’ll jack the price up at least $200. Maybe Apple will make a simple phone without the superconducting time-space curving flux-capacitor for regular folks like me.
About having the click wheel and camera scratch the screen, you could have either the wheel and camera or the screen lowered a little bit from the sides so that none of them made contact with eachother. Im sure apple wont dissapoint us when they finally come out with a phone. It will probably resemble the RAZR, just not with motorollas bad interface and slowness.
It was filmed with a ’67 Fender Stratocaster?
SHHAAAWWWINNGGG!
flip it like a butterfly knife
the person who makes this deserves an honorary job at apple
Get it out of your thick skulls — no clickwheel EVAR on the back of a device. “Frustration” would take on new meanings…
(Sarcasm)
This is amazing! You mean it’s actually anti-grav?
The REAL thing is MUCH MUCH better!
Apple is going to have the world eating out of its hand…
Not too far from truth… I can’t wait to see Apple’s real ad!
Well unfortunately it did say at the beginnning that it’s purely conceptual, I suppose however that apple, upon seeing this, might (just might) build something this cool then sell it for 800$ and as for flipping it open… does anyone have one of those calculators with the flap on it that has the built in opener, the one that can even open itself when face down? Something like that could easily make this a reality. *sigh*
Gorgeous ad, (nitpicker that I am) the Apple logo’s a tad large, and the hinges look a little delicate and sharp.
Still, if the mythical beast is anything like it, I’m in line!
I totally Zuned myself. That was teh shit. ^_^
If the REAL phone is anywhere near that cool (and it will be) Apple will sell a metric crap-load of them.
AAPL – All time high…today? Maybe! We’re within a buck of it!!!
