Apple iPhone: A patented design candidate

No, it’s not the quest of the Holy Grail, nor the trap of Lochness monster, but, looking for Apple iPhone is very close to it. You get signs, you get drawings, photos, but even with them, you couldn’t assure to yourself it’s the right path to take.

So take a look at some possible iPod redesign that AppleInsider took from patent filings made in both the US and Europe. One of them concerns the possible iPod Phone.

And yes, forget innovation, deep though to find fantastic user interfaces. Think functional. Functional as a front covered by button and a back without nothing, something that does look like… a traditional handset.

Another option is an iPod without any buttons ― not iPhone, just iPod ― that could become the successor of current iPod Nanos. How does it work? With your voice. You launch, select or stop your playlist by talking to your device. An idea that already fuels the Speakables application, that could control Skype by voice and runs on the Apple Mac operating system.
