Apple iPhone On (Far) Horizon
Talk This Way
Apple redefined the desktop, laptop, and MP3 player. The next insanely great thing: an LCD arm cuff that includes a PDA, wireless Internet, a mini iPod, and, of course, a phone. The iPhone bracelet's motion sensor allows you to scroll through apps and files with the flick of a wrist; its clasp holds a digicam for use during video calls; and its wireless ear clip lets you listen and speak to callers. And everything can be done via voice recognition or touchscreen. Talk about the right call.

obviously that would be cool though

Except, of course, a Firewire3200 optical jack at the back of the head. Who needs monitor?!?
The next step: fiber to the home.
The step after the next step: fiber to the skull.
Screed ...Mind you, Old Apple could rear its head and try to sell an ADC port instead.

PS Hence the reason a mobile/pda will never work - the more useful it is as a mobile (smaller), the less useful as a PDA.
and although i'm not defending the design you wouldn't need an UI as much because everything would be voice controlled
the wrist flicking part WOULD be annoying though
As for a PDA, the T68i is not an acceptable organizer. It's just too small, and data entry is too cumbersome. We still need the iTablet (Newton form factor).
are just concepts...Im sure apple would not sho off their desing or ideas anyhow!

Forgtetting that it's too small, that the screen would be warped to contour youir wrist...
Surfing the web would give people arthritis, twisiting my wrist forward, twisting it backward, twisting, oopps, twist up, damn it too far, twist it down, wtc
Voice recognition? That would only work somewhat in an office. You can walk down the street speaking commands because you'd end up turning around and screaming to the citizens to shut up. There would have to be a wireless mic really close to your mouth.
Not geting my money. Too coool and not enough function.

I went through some of the demos and it is much easier to enter in long text messages with a keypad like this.
I made another iPhone mock up based on this keypad. howdy
