If you've long complained about your typing speed and productivity, this iPhone 6 concept video may be the solution you're searching for.

It's only been a few months since Apple released the iPhone 5, but one designer already has a vision for what the next model should look like.

ederico Ciccarese, an Italian designer, has come up with a series of stunning renders for the iPhone 6  assuming that's what Apple ends up calling the next redesign of the device — which would represent a
significant change to the phone's external design and operating system.

The concept for the iPhone 6 is inspired by the shape of the iPod Nano, though when applied to the iPhone it bares some resemblance to the Nokia Lumia. At the same time, Federico has re-imagined the look and feel of the operating system with a concept he calls iOSX, which is a fusion between iOS and the Mac OS X.
Since it will likely be several months before the next iPhone is released, there haven't been many rumors yet about how the device will look. One analyst recently predicted that the next iPhone would come in more screen sizes and more colors, the latter of which is something that is already available for the iPod and iPod Nano.
Ciccarese has released concept designs for several previous Apple products, including the iPhone 5 and the much-rumored Apple television, both of which featured gorgeous curved displays.
What do you think of these mockups for the iPhone 6? Would you like to see the next iPhone look like this?
The above YouTube video shows an iPhone 6 mockup that, when set on a flat surface, can project a Mac keyboard from one side and a Mac desktop from the other.
The video, created by YouTube user Sonitdac, shows a rendered "iPhone 6" that looks sim,ilar to an iPhone 5. The top and bottom ends of the iPhone are shown snapping off to create a stand for a small degree of elevation.
The iPhone rendering then projected a keyboard and trackpad onto the desk in front of the phone, and a functional Mac cinema display onto the wall.
While the rendering is clearly a pipe dream created by a clever animator, it's an interesting — though
completely unlikely — concept video.
As for the real next iPhone, Apple isn't expected to make an announcement on that for some time, though it could come at next month's World Wide Developer's Conference, which will have its keynote June 10.

keep up with the newest technologies and contemplate about how these will be used in the future. On this blog I'll share my thoughts about the future of technology, based on the High Tech RoadShow inventions of today. Enhanced by Zemanta

MySpace Introduces “Hijacks” With the Black Eyed Peas

8-Bit Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas have taken over MySpace in an effort to improve its social entertainment offerings.

Hijacks is a project that involves allowing celebrities — like the aforementioned Peas — to “take over” MySpace. Fans will have the opportunity to learn more about these celebrities’ particular interests, while also receiving access to new products and exclusive content.

So in the case of the Black Eyed Peas’s MySpace Hijack, fans can do things like play a new 8-bit game, view the band’s featured playlist and learn more about chanteuse Fergie’s love of Italian fashion house Emilio Pucci. Non-MySpace users will be able to view some of the content from the hijack, but actual MySpace membership is necessary to receive access to items like a limited edition Black Eyed Peas badge. This promotion is taking place just a little more than a week after the Black Eyed Peas released their last disc, The Beginning.

Next week, Jack Black will take over with his own hijack for three days, shortly before his next film, Gulliver’s Travels, hits theaters. More as-yet-unannounced celebrities and musicians will be participating in the program in 2011.

MySpace SVP Sam Wick says Hijack is designed to use the “power of celebrities” — especially global ones — to introduce the social network’s audience to a deeper content experience. He views it as a chance for users to check out the site’s new content hubs and topic pages.

“The way we think about it is, in essence, as the virtual equivalent of Saturday Night Live,” Wick says, pointing out that celebrities typically do such programs in order to promote a project. “But it’s really a personification of who they are — and we look at it in the same way. So the artist is really deeply involved in the programming aspects of Hijack itself.”

The program’s being promoted both on MySpace and off — for instance, anyone visiting the Black Eyed Peas Facebook Page will view a tab informing them about Hijack. Wick says a number of celebrities, like Chris Brown, have tweeted out information as well.

Hijack has launched just a little more than a month after MySpace first announced plans for a completely overhauled design, with the intention of being "the leading entertainment destination that is socially powered by the passions of fans and curators."
