Apple iPhone potential design
November 28, 2006
This is a spec commercial for a new cell phone from Apple , the iPhone or the iTalk by award winning filmmaker Christopher DeSantis with design by Gregory DeSantis.
This potential design of the iPhone is a really good ingenious design. The fold out design manages to incorporate four functional faces in a predominantly two-sided structure, while at the same time shielding the sensitive interface keys from external elements. Plug in a 30Gig Hard drive on this baby, then you have a phone and an iPod together.
Downside: Apple has said before that the iPhone will not be a flip phone. Still, the design is awesome.
