- Aereo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+29Yikes, some of these are pretty ugly.
- NCSUspoon, on 10/31/2007, -1/+19I love #14. It has an internet explorer icon! Someone wasn't thinking things through when they photoshoped that beast.
- jaygray, on 10/11/2007, -1/+15I would kill for a rotary cell phone like in #15.
- erwlas, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11I love the iNewt (No.9)
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Some are actually pretty sweet.
- lavenderblue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Good lord, that article was annoying. Almost every single page has some snide comment about how the mock-up doesn't actually look like the iPhone. "This one wouldn't have had New Yorkers camping out..." "This wouldn't have created the frenzy we see today!" "So 2006."
We all do know what the end product looked like. But just in case we'd all forgotten, I'm glad we had someone to write 26 pages of blurbs mentioning that it doesn't have a keypad. - cave, on 10/31/2007, -0/+8http://www.networkworld.com/graphics/slideshows/06 ...
Is the one on the right a Zune? - Nougat, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Funny that pretty much everyone showed it with a physical keypad.
- saltywings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I personally liked the Eye-phone...
- TannerPwnz, on 10/31/2007, -1/+7Wow, I think the guy who made 21 was on some sort of crack.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6#17 isn't half bad
- xero9, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Some?
- deftss, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I always liked this one http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-205829184 ...
- civperc, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Oh they were ;)
- Kr1ngle0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Not as nuts as what was going through my head..
I read iPonies - blacknred0, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4the #1 and 2 is the funniest ones
- spidoman, on 10/17/2007, -0/+3Because everyone knows phones should have physical keypads.
Tactile response 'til I die! - deenoop, on 10/31/2007, -1/+4some of those designs are pretty cool looking. Dugg!
- drizzlelicious, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2#18 = LG chocolate with ipod display + click wheel slapped on
- rkuchiki, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2#11, with its fake brands and logos looks like a Chinese ripoff
- markdr123, on 10/31/2007, -0/+2Yeah, most of those are just iPods with keypads.
I quite like #7 though. - TheWorm, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Poor article. Some cool mock-ups.
- skyfire1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2They're all equally worthless. I'm glad this iPhone craze died out.
- kidtux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I think this is one of those rare times where the actual product looks better then the imagined photoshoped versions
- loganhid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2some of these are pretty slick.....
- amitgawande, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Most of them dress an iPodish Look ...
- sancho320, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting....
- adooga, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Hmm... most of those were an iPod with a keypad on it.
- SirZRX, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1i want the number #18 =(
- Irfit, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Dugg for the iCan (n°2)
- chocolatespoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1looks like they designed these with racoon hand sizes in mind
- leighedwards, on 01/29/2009, -0/+117 looks ***** cool.
- damndj, on 10/31/2007, -1/+2I love how some of the mock ups are very forward thinking while others have zero vision. Kudos to the ones who dared to be different.
- lukak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1lol @ no. 18, It's the bastard child of a lg chocolate and a nano.
- Lapper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I was wondering if I was ever going to see these again after the iPhone photos were actually released.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1#15 wtf?
- dcbebop, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1While I agree that most of these should be labeled "WTF?" some of them are kinda close to what was delivered. #17s interface is kinda on point. #22 was on the right track with the form factor. #16 had the full screen interface. Most of these were kinda on the right direction given the fact that they most likely didn't have any insight into the actual product. Shows the consistency that apple tends to deliver.
On another note, WTF is up with the clamshell in #23? Didn't that line die a horrible death many years ago? - Theisos, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2What about the guy who made number two? Sigh. It's a pity I posted this comment before seeing number one.
- Volcanite, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1a lot of these are better than the iphone
- cave, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Do you have one? If you don't you really should find a way to try it out for a few days. You'll be surprised at how you'll get used to the feedback-less interface. At least thats what happened to me. Now when i go back to a regular keypad it feels weird because i actually have to apply pressure to push the button. The iPhone works like a touchpad on a laptop. Unlike a regular touch screen, it detects body heat/electricity instead of pressure. So you barely have to press on the screen for the tap to be registered, it's surprisingly comfortable to use.
- sgbeal, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1So the truth is revealed. Apple doesn't actually do any design work of their own at all. Instead they wait for their devote fanboy followers to get bored and create mock-ups of hypothetical new products. Apple then pulls the best ones, tweaks them a bit, and bases their new products off of them. What better way to get free design work and appease the fanboys all at once?
- SuperGreen420, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Cool pics.
I want to punch the blurb writer in the face. Most annoying, worthless, holier than thou ***** commentary ever. - 2shae, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1#20 wasn't that bad actually though it has nothing special.
- Torpov, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Dugg because my friend works at Network World and they're actually making him do stuff now that this is on Digg.
- instabil, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Why does one of the iCans have windows installed? (pic #25)
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -1/+2 Photoshop a gay guy holding anyone of those god awful devices, and you can roll 99% of the mac community.
- Sidnak, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1I would just love to have an option for an iphone with some tactile feel buttons on it.
- edenseager, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1In #21, are they taking the piss when they addresses the text message to 'Bill'?
- xero69, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1The fake that is #17 looks cooler than the real iPhone
- chocolatespoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the watch phone was sweet. every trekkies dream!
