Macbook Pro 2 Concepts

Engadget has recently challenged it blog viewers to create some cool concepts for the rumored new Macbook pro that is expected to be announced latter this mouth. Here are some of my favorites.

iPod & iPhone Upgrade

Oh no they didn’t? Yes, yes they did. Apple has officially launched a new 32GB iPod touch and a 16GB iPhone. Will this extra 16GB help rope in the costumers who sworn of the ipod touch do to it’s lack of space for a video iPod?Will the high price tag at $499 scare away costumers? Will this grant the iPod Touch the thrown for King of all iPods? These are all questions that will be answered on on all the Tech. blogs in the weeks to follow.

there's something in the air!

MacBook Air,

It's here! The much talked about MacBook Air is here and thinner then ever. The Apple website likes to call it an "Thinnovation", I would have to agree, as it is  the thinnest laptop in the world. And in the category of style i would name it the hottest laptop to date, coming in at 0.16-0.76 inches think, with a 13.3 inch screen, it's just awesome(For more on the new MacBook Air visit the Apple website, also check out the price). Just to let you know i am in love with this laptop, but I'm shore there will be allot of tech. people unsatisfied with this thinnovation, as with any new product there will always be something missing or something that should have been changed. 

Oh and here is a always popular Apple ad.

Actor Ed Burns was photographed in a Los Angeles Apple store shopping for Christmas gifts. God i love His eye they're just so puppy dog like. On another note dose it seem as though Mac's are coming even more popular in the media, like on T.V shows and with Celeb's, or is it just me?

apple/microsoft concepts

Adam Benton is an award wining illustrator living in the UK, and his work has been featured in a number of great art publications. Adam has made some of my favorite concept deigns, For example his design for the Zune 2 looks better then the Zune 2. He slimed down the Zune, and gave it a purl cove and a sleek look.

I recently ran into a concept he made of a Apple based camera called iEye, first of all great name, second that thing is beautiful. It has a iPone look all brushed aluminum with a chrome ring around the edge, and a awesome touch screen. this camera would allow you to edit photos and movies with a touch of a finger. At the high end of the price rang ($499) you would get 720p HD video, 5.1-megapixel stills, 12GB of flash memory, and a large-capacity lithium-ion battery hardwired inside, and optical zoom at 3x.

The food chain

Style has caught up with technology, and personally I would have to put Apple as the front-runner in the style department. To be honest, for a long time I really didn’t like apple but lately I just cant get enough of them. And I just recently switched from a pc to Mac and I am so happy with the change, especially in the style department I got a 20” iMac, which is just beautiful. I also own an iPod classic, beautiful in it’s own right, it’s quit thin for a hard drive based mp3 player, but when I first got it was horrible. It wasn’t working right, it was freezing, it just pissed me off ever time I picked it up. But know with a couple software updates, its been working fine, freezing only once in awhile.

The iPods have been the raining kings of the mp3 player world sense there coming out, but as time goes on other mp3 manufactures are building equally awesome mp3 players. Like the Samsung yp-p2 and the new creative Zen are beautiful player and from what I here they run nicely too. Now they’re nice but not iPod killers, but now that the new Zune 2 is out the food chain maybe changing. The new Zune 2 is definitely more stylish then its older brother, thinner and sleeker, and the new interface is beautiful. But the thing that got me was the original customizable engraving art you can get free for a limited time. I mean it looks awesome and its something I wish apple did.

The only downside to the engraving is it’s permanent, once the art is engraved there is no going back, unless you find a cool skin maker for the new Zune, like GelaSkins.com. They also give you custom art for your mp3 player only you get color and the chance to change it when ever you want. Now they go for around $10-$15 bucks but I think its definitely worth it. On that note I think I will stick with my iPod, unless something hotter comes out, god I am shallow when it comes to tech. toys.
