The iPhone, made of electronics & zirconia
2.12.06
A patent application made public yesterday showed Apple has been developing a new casing for a wireless device that can operate as an iPod and a cellphone — so the iPhone. The application, filed with the U.S. Patent and Tra
demark Office in August, refers to a “radio-transparent handheld computing device” cellphone and media player combination.
It tells some possible eventual aspects of the iPhone. - The device shows “enclosure that surrounds and protects the internal operational components of the portable computing device, the enclosure including a structural wall formed from a ceramic material that permits wireless communications therethrough.” - The envelope might be made in zirconia, a ceramic that can transmit radio frequency signals.
In the same time, Piper Jaffray Co.’s Gene Munster and Benjamin Reitzes of UBS AG, reiterate the rumor that Steve Jobs may introduce an iPod merged with a phone at the company’s MacWorld conference in January.
