Most manufacturers seem to be gradually morphing their tablet offerings into one barely distinguishable design, but Sony continues to be different.

The only blemishes on its edges are a power socket, micro-USB and headphone ports, and a volume rocker button. It works over 802.11n Wi-Fi and 3G (you get a SIM with a month of free data from 3 in the box), and has GPS too.

iPhone SJ: New iPhone Concept Inspired By Steve Jobs

Image
We've seen various iPhone mock-ups in the past, some based on rumors floating around the web, while others - a conceptualization of what the designer wants. The mock-up below, falls in the latter category. The designer, Antonio De Rosa from ADR Studio, created the design with Steve Jobs in mind. From his description: "Totally glass capacitive screen on a polycarbonate lightweight body. New design inspired by Steve Jobs, new core with A6 dual core processor, new camera 10 Mpx. A classic reinvented. Again." Polycarbonate, in case you're wondering, is the same material used by Nokia for the Lumia 800's body.
