A awesome concept car...for your iPhone

land-rover-lrx

I don't know what you think about it, but to my mind, this concept car made by Range Rover looks very awesome. More than beautiful, it is also eco-friendly since thanks to "its more compact size, lighter weight and sustainability-focused technologies" the LRX's fuel consumption is untill 25% less than the other Land Rover 4x4s and it also means reduced CO2 emissions.

But one of the most surprising thing I noticed about this nice car is inside. Indeed the LRX concept on board two touchscreens and one of which permit to "control the LRX's iPhone facility". In fact, the LRX seems to have one of the most practical iPhone docking station you can find in a car, according to the website Engadget. And it would be possible to switch on the car from the iPhone touch screen... That sounds really interesting.

If you want to know more and see this sexy 4x4 in real you should go to the Detroit Auto Show in January 2008.

Microsoft "Surface" : a seductive concept

Microsoft works on the "multitouch screens" technology since 2001... so as you can notice Apple is not the only company involved in this "touchy" trend. To tell the truth the Microsoft "Surface" table does not use exactly the same technology as the iPhone and obviously the applications are different. Anyway I'm rather convinced by this expensive high-tech table (more or less 10 000$) and I really think this another example of multitouch screen shows how going to evolve computers in a very closed future... Did not you find that exciting?
