iWatch concept with Retina display and FaceTime

Ever since Steve Jobs joked about iPod nano wrist straps during the September 2010 presser ("one of our board of director members is gonna clip it on to an armband as a watch"), there has been no shortage of futuristic iWatch concepts, ranging from ADR Studio's James Bond-like thing to Italian designer Federico Ciccarese's Star Trek-like wearable device with curved glass we told you about last week.

If you can't get enough of these, you'll appreciate this one by Swedish designer Anders Kjellberg who earned our respect with a remarkable iWatch vision featuring FaceTime (quite logical, isn't it?), Retina display (why not?) and a whole bunch of other nice-to-haves...

Rumored Apple device with curved glass screen gets awesome mockup treatment

Curved cover glass could be the next big thing for portable devices. Apple reportedly invested in glass-cutting machines last year, fueling rumors that the iPhone 5 may feature a curved display akin to Nokia's Lumia smartphones. The idea gained credence when Nick Bilton wrote in a New York Times article last December that Cupertino was working on “a curved-glass iPod that would wrap around the wrist”.

We're not so sure Apple would attach the iPod or iPhone brand to such an unusual gizmo, but if it resembles this exquisite concept, count us very excited...
