A short while back, we tracked the progress of Liquipel, a company which has produced an almost mystical, invisible formula enabling the waterproofing of our treasured, fragile gadgets.
Apple decided, that in 2011, it would break the regular launch pattern for the iPhone and deviate from the traditional June unveiling. The company took to the stage in October instead during the "Let's talk iPhone" event to announce the details and release date for the current iPhone 4S. Even though the 4S has only been with us for just over three months, people are starting to speculate and anticipate when we will see the announcement of the iPhone 5.
The iPhone 4S is now three months old, which means the inevitable barrage of rumors and speculation will be hitting our screens in the coming weeks and months regarding future devices from Apple, especially the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. The rumor train shouldn't come as a surprise, considering it happens with every product release, but as the Apple products gain more popularity around the world, the focus on the rumors intensifies.
The rumor mill surrounding Apple's next smartphone venture will most certainly get a kick-start today after a Foxconn employee slipped to 9to5Mac that the device dubbed the 'iPhone 5' is already prepped for production.
Well it's that time again, when an analyst tells us everything we either already know or suspect about an upcoming product, and this time it's the next iPhone’s turn to get the crystal ball treatment.
Antonio De Rosa, founder of ADR Studios, has thrown up another fine concept of a future Cupertino smartphone, which is designed with a completely glass capacitive screen in a light polycarbonate body. Check out the shots after the break.

First of all it is worth noting that the source has not been named, and although the article states that the source gives them confidence that the information is accurate, the fact remains that we could be twelve months or so away from a release and designs are always subject to change.
Oh well, the calm didn't last long did it? We're just a couple of months since the iPhone 4S was released to an expectant public, and we are already beginning with the iPhone 5 rumors, and some of them are just plain crazy.
