asus aura: iphone clone plus

February 6th, 2007 post a comment (5) stumble it! by: technabob

This cool phone from Asus channels many of its good looks from Apple’s iPhone. The Asus Aura has a 3.9-inch touchscreen LCD, a 2 megapixel digital camera and a slim 6.9mm thick case design.

Asus Aura Concept Phone

The Aura does one up the iPhone in a few significant ways by offering UMTS and HSDPA (3G) high-speed connectivity, expandable storage via an SD slot and a slide-out keyboard. The bad news? The Aura is just a concept design, and isn’t expected to be produced any time soon.

Don’t be surprised if more and more manufacturers start to clone the iPhone’s full-size touchscreen display and other design touches. But like Mac OS X vs. Vista and TiVo vs. other DVRs, the difference still lies in the quality of the user interface and underlying operating system.

Concept designs out everywhere begging to be the center of attention. Before the Iphone came out there was no such riot over an item such as a phone. This type of envy provoked was given only to cars and girls. Never was there such anticipation for a phone of all things. Jealous of the eye catching features everyone wants a piece of the spot light the Iphone is catching. Hell I want one too. With all its flaws it is the best engineered phone on the market. If you walk out of a cell phone with anything less, it only leaves you feeling second rate. http://adamcpennington.googlepages.com

I’ve got a satellite connecting, ultra fast, collapsible to 2″ tall and 1″ wide phone, that plays HD video seamlessly and can read your mind to dial or send email. I’ve REALLY upped the iPhone.
Of course, it’s a concept phone I’ve designed.

C’mon, report on real products and don’t waste our time.
