The model actually features internals and everything. The only thing not in detail is the sliding mechanism, because I'm not 100% sure how it's done on these devices, I have an idea but not 100%. The device is small, unfortunately on these renderings I made the headphone jack too small and the actual device is not open 100%. All the buttons are identical in size. But anyways, you are right it was mainly too be a concept only. Here is a revision to this concept. http://www.flickr.com/photos/unleashedlive/502524492/ Thinking about “how it ought to work” was thought out. The model actually features internals and everything.

Wich in my humble opinion is not enough. It's still a very traditional interface, kinda awkward to press the button closest to the (upper) sliding part. I'd prefer something that would respond to gestures, or at least has a more intuitive placement of the controls over this design. And widescreen aspect ratio for the display would be nice too. But then again, who am I? The idea of a very minimalistic, sleak and stylish device is nice though.
