Clamshell Apple iPhone to Unveil Soon?

Clamshell iPhone And the Apple iPhone is back!

This time it is not a software or hardware enhancement or even a lawsuit! It is believed that the iPod-cum-phone will soon have a clamshell version too.

On the basis of some patents filed by the Cupertino-based company, Unwired View website reported about the probable clamshell model. Rumors also mention that the iPhone will be a ‘Dual sided trackpad’. The flap of the phone is supposedly going to be transparent and would have the ability to open up to a 160 degree angle, thanks to the attached hinge.

Apparently the trackpad can be used from both the sides, which means that the closed trackpad enables users to access the iPhone as a normal touch-screen phone and after opening the trackpad, users can operate dialer, scrolling and gesture options.

Now that’s an interesting improvement. The image above could give a rough idea on how the flip iPhone may look.
