iPhone Air Mockup: Could this be the iPhone 5

iPhone Air Mockup: Could this be the iPhone 5



 

The iPhone and MacBook Air are perhaps two of Apple’s most bestselling products. So, why hasn’t Apple thought of a product that would offer the best of both worlds - the ultra slim, sleek design of MacBook Air and the gorgeous user interface of the iPhone? ‘iPhone Air’ would probably the most apt name for such a device. Though it is believed that Apple will begin shipping iPhone 5 in September, nobody knows what it would look like? Who knows the iPhone 5 might turn out to be modeled on the “iPhone Air” concept.

First things first, iPhone Air is purely a mockup concept created by Italian studio Ciccarese Design. These folks certainly let their imagination run wild and came up with mockups of the iPhone Air available in both black and white. In the past, several reports (such as the one from thisismynext.com) have indicated that the iPhone 5 would feature an edge-to-edge display as well as boasting a tapered, teardrop outer body design.
It’s widely believed that Apple will launch two totally distinct iPhones in September. One of them would be a low-cost variant modeled on the iPod Touch design. This device would be slimmer than the iPhone 4. Interestingly, the iPhone Air mockups demonstrate the same concept – a device thinner than the iPhone 4 and providing an edge-to-edge display. I, for one, am mighty impressed with the iPhone Air concept and I won’t be disappointed if the iPhone 5 is modeled along these lines.

In the past, Apple has done a terrific job of slimming down its products including the iPhone, iPad and Macbook. Therefore, a slimmer iPhone would be a norm rather than an exception in Apple’s future arsenal of products.
Of course, these are mere speculations and the iPhone 5 remains Apple’s best kept secret till date. The iPhone 4 leak saga brought a lot of bad press for the Cupertino giant, therefore it’s understandable that Apple is trying to keep the iPhone 5 under wraps.
What do you think of iPhone Air? Do you think the iPhone 5 would look similar to the iPhone Air concept? Please share your opinion by leaving a comment

iTunes 11 : nouvelle interface et intégration native d’iCloud ?

 iTunes 11 : nouvelle interface et intégration native d’iCloud 

Si iTunes reste un passage obligé pour tout utilisateur d’iBidule, le logiciel est souvent l’objet de (vives) critiques. En effet, et malgré de nombreuses mises à jour, iTunes a peu évolué. L’interface reste très proche de la version initiale et Apple s’est souvent contenter d’ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités au fil des versions sans pour autant revoir en profondeur l’un de ses logiciels phares. Mais la situation pourrait bien évoluer avec la onzième mouture attendue dans les prochains mois.

En effet, selon iDownloadBlog, iTunes 11 introduirait de nombreux changements. L’interface serait revue en profondeur et ferait la part belle à iCloud et ses nouveaux services. Le Store aurait également droit à un sérieux lifting et s’inspirerait en partie de Spotify.

Quant à la date de sortie, nos confrères de Boy Genius Report évoquent un lancement simultané avec iOS 5.

iPhone 5 : de nouvelles photos de housses de protection

 iPhone 5 : de nouvelles photos de housses de protection

 

Décidément, plus une journée ne s’écoule sans une nouvelle fuite supposée concernant le futur iPhone 5. La semaine dernière 9to5Mac publiaient des photos de housses censées être destinées au futur smartphone pommé. Nos confrères viennent de mettre en ligne de nouvelles images.


Ces nouvelles housses sont assez proches des précédentes et semblent confirmer que l’iPhone 5 bénéficiera d’une dalle plus imposante que celle présente sur l’iPhone 4 et donc de dimensions légèrement plus importantes (environ 1 cm de plus en largeur et en longueur). L’iPhone 5 serait en revanche légèrement plus fin que le modèle actuel.

D’autres photos sont disponibles sur 9to5Mac.

Sony Ericsson adding Qriocity movie streaming to XPERIAs in August

 Sony Ericsson adding Qriocity movie streaming to XPERIAs in August
Sony Ericsson has announced that the Sony Qriocity streaming video service will be landing on select smartphones from the company’s range as of August 1, with a choice of content from NBC, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. and more. Arriving first on the XPERIA mini and mini pro, the Qriocity video app will allow for both rentals and purchases of titles.


After the two compact Android devices, Sony Ericsson will push out phased updates for the XPERIA Arc, neo, PLAY, Pro and acro, while the XPERIA active and XPERIA ray will have the app preloaded when they go on sale. Nine countries will support the service, at least initially – the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Australia, Japan (albeit from the end of August), Canada and the United States – though the actual content on offer will vary depending on location.
Unfortunately, those with any other Sony Ericsson Android device, such as the XPERIA X10, won’t be getting any of the Qriocity fun. The company has confirmed that it’s exclusive to the 2011 line-up, though we wouldn’t be surprised to see Android hackers change that, at least unofficially.
