Pikoproektory become more popular, but in addition to compact size they are boring. Monotonous black-gray case, the square shape. Maybe one day Apple decides to bring to this market and a fresh perspective, creating something like iShow. This is a LED-projector designer Moti Berzayle (Moti Barzilay). The size of a web camera, a device capable of projecting an image with a diagonal of 60 “. Opens the projector by turning the two parts in the opposite direction.

All the assumptions regarding the future of the Tablet PC companies are not very imaginative. Tommaso Gekkelin (Tommaso Gecchelin) offers a somewhat different view, calling the device MacBook Touch. It can take many forms and work as a netbook, Tablet PC or desktop monitor. It is unlikely that something similar is expected in the next year, when the expected appearance of a real Apple Tablet.

iPhone first appeared relatively recently - in 2007, although the technology industry is a huge time. And despite the exit of new models, some users want more exotic. John Wheat (John Pszeniczny) was not averse to see in the near future iPod Chimera with specifications that include a 500-GB drive, the case of titanium, repels dirt screen resolution of 1280 x 720, support 4G, GPS, satellite radio receiver and HD-signal . For the first time the concept of “Chimera” appeared in 2006.

Vehicle Apple would be uniquely different from any other and allocated to thoughtful design, simplicity and environmental friendliness. Dzhanarelli Anthony (Anthony Jannarelly) believes that “car” would look approximately like he had invented iMo - student project at the University of Coventry (Coventry University), United Kingdom. Time iMo must occur in 2024, when the technology will be sophisticated enough to equip a machine with artificial intelligence, through which she could take back their own children to school and meet the owner at the exit from the store after purchase.

Down with the usual ornaments, high-tech way. Victor Soto (Victor Soto) invented multimedia ring iRing with control them by touch. The touch interface is designed to control music playback - pause, rewind, volume control. In the latter case you should hold your finger along the surface, and a charging device applies a docking station.

Concepts of hours Apple very much, and most of the assigned name iWatch. Above shows the device HiPod, which has included wireless headphones. Bottom left - iWatch with bright full color display, the same right - the modified iPod Mini, which is worn on the wrist.

The idea belongs to Michael iToast Taylou (Michael Thilow). According to his plan toaster can hold four slices of bread and contains controls integrated mp3-player. Company logo imprinted on each finished toast. For breakfast not hurt to make coffee in eCafe, and cut the bread knife will iBlade, again with the player.

Con iPhone - a continuation of themes for future models of the famous product. The touch screen is enclosed in case of carbon fiber, and an optional folding screen is composed of three LCD panels, displays the desktop operating system, Mac OS X. Sean Haller (Sean Haller) also proposes to include in the design element with three programmable buttons, if desired separated from the phone.

Conceived player-iPod Slide the slider from Trii Yea (Tryi Yeh) has a touch screen and thermal sensors to control the device. The original plan anticipated the development of model iPod Classic, but Slide could be sure of a competitor, and the rest of the series - iPod Touch, Nano and Shuffle.

Mac Mini is not as popular as the other products Apple, but it does not stop dedicated compact computer users in their dreams of home theater, the basis of which was made by a Mini. The system should have memory card slots, FireWire and USB for connecting peripherals.

Imagining iCom, a web resource MacLife looked for years to come. The device works on the technology of holographic projection, tracking eye movements, touch-screen functionality. With this set to communicate with a business partner or friend can not face sitting in front of the camera, and walking around the room or office.

Although mobile devices and Apple is the camera, they still serve as an additional function. iEye would become a full-fledged digital camera capabilities with iPhone, or vice versa. The concept does not seem so fantastic that the company had not thought about something like that.

Another concept for a Tablet PC. At this time the resource MacPlus.net proposes to use the Apple Tablet as an addition to desktop computers as a second screen, and if necessary - a separate laptop PCs. Integration makes it possible to synchronize your documents, bookmarks, photo and music collections.

Apple released a set of iconic products, but the iPhone certainly has a special place. He is in many respects, the very idea of what may be a mobile phone. Depicted here concepts appeared before the release of “ayfon. As far as can be judged, designers tried to outdo each other in innovative ideas, but in the end no one came to the device without a keyboard.

Reportedly, the sound desk is able to connect to your player wirelessly or via a standard mini-jack.
