Now this is something that is pretty cool. Went to the website and read some and watched the videos, very impressive. Not sure on how the cost of it compares to more conventional metals but I agree that this could be the next step for Apple to once again get out of the starting block ahead of the pack....

Hi all.

A while ago, I posed a question about Apple's next generation of laptop design. The titanium of the TiBook is nostalgic already and the choice of aluminum for the current design had me wondering what might be next, since polycarbonate seems to be falling to the wayside.

I just came across an article on LiquidMetal in a back issue of Business 2.0.

Maybe this is the next big thing? An alloy that can be moulded like plastic and becomes harder than steel.

My "plastic" :

Pismo 500 MHz (aka "Lazarus")
Key Lime 466 MHZ
Blueberry iBook 300 MHz
