I'd say it's for the next MacBook Pros.
2011 will be all about Macs and OS X 10.7.
I do hope so. That's my kinda year. ^^

For all that is holy and sacrimonious! Please let this mean Jonny Ive is on his way out.
The new materials need a new and cutting edge designer. Not like the current hack who has brought shiny, magical, hideousness and design flaws to EVERY product.
Combine the science and the art, it will be awesome. No more bad art from subpar materials from the feminine mind of Jonny Ive.
When will they start using transparent aluminum like they've had in Star Trek since the Kirk era?

who did you have in mind?
As far as i understand it, anything which is transparent must consist of "big" crystals, like normal glass. Liquid metal seems to be the opposite, so i do not see transparent liquid metal in the near future.

No T2 jokes yet? Remember, it can only be formed into stabbing weapons, not complex machines.

You're likely right that the next models are already designed and being tested. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that those models don't utilize this technology: remember that this isn't a new technology being researched, it's something that's been around and that Apple has actually used. It could very well be that they've designed and prototyped, say, the next iPhone as an LM product, and being happy with the results, decided to buy the sole rights to lock out competitors in preparation for eventual mass production.
A relative unknown. There will be more innovation and motivation.
Experience is irrelevant when it comes to fields like design. Experienced engineers and a young, new designer with little technology experience.
That is completely backwards. Emphasizing engineering experience over design experience is why there are so many ugly products in the technology market. It takes serious design skills developed over time to resolve human factors and end up with products that are as clean and minimal as those achieved by Apple. Their reliance on software to strip away buttons and mechanical controls requires a hand-in-glove relationship between industrial design and software design, and some young new designer with little tech experience is not going to be able to handle the rigors of that process.
Fixed.
Happy now Mac21ND?

Highly unlikely. While using soft aluminum for MBPs was a stupid idea it was less stupid than using glass for iPhones. iPhones should be redesigned first.
One former Liquidmetal executive has speculated that Apple is planning to use Liquidmetal alloys in future iPhone models.
