Ever wonder what it would be like the ultimate mobile phone that is made from the combination design of Treo & iPhone? Apparently it’s not only us, Palm Addict-ers who are craving for iPhone, that wish for such dream handset to be exist even on the level of design concept. Anthony James (Yanko Design) has found that dream-phone concept, designed by creative people at RKS; a design consultant at the southern California and they named it as “Mimique”.RDK explained that the innovation behind Mimique’s design is based on Google’s Android, the open-source mobile platform that breaks down old customs of mobile phone barriers and puts control back into the hands of the customers.
And the Mimique’s concept itself is: “a response to feature-heavy cell phones that look more like PDAs than phones. Playful and engaging, the Mimique's design marries the heritage of old-school cell phones with next-generation style and touch-screen technology. The Mimique will use the new open-source cell phone software which will allow users to download features and "skins." With downloadable upgrades, users won't need to buy a new phone to get new features.”
It does look very appealing, specially with that big-mesmerizing On/Off button on the back. Maybe Palm can actually pull this one off, if just Ed Colligan is willing to let those ex-Apple miracle-makers that he hired back then to run wild designing the new Treo.But Mimique is only a design concept in the making, it’s a very slim chance that it’ll make it into the real mobile phone factory. All what is left for us to do, is to drool over the gorgeous looking Treo-iPhonish alike picture while we’re still in the atmosphere of iPhone 2.0 euphoria.
Hey, who knows perhaps Steve Jobs will change his mind and make this Mimique as the new iPhone 2.0 we’ve been waiting for? ;-p Yeah right, if Steve to wear Ed’s suit at WWDC ’08 and not his usual black-turtle-neck shirt; then I think we have a slight ray of hope to see this come true. ~LOL~
