How would you design your smartphone or tablet

What would your custom smartphone or tablet look like? Internals don't matter, only the exterior does.

You should work for Apple.

I'd have a MacBook Air/iPad hybrid tablet with a swivel screen so it can be used either as a laptop or tablet. It would also have the same connectivity as the MBA does. In fact it would be essentially an MBA 11" with a swivel screen. It would run OSX and not iOS.

My design would have an aspect ratio of 5:3. To achieve the shape, place the screen in a rectangular prism and round off the corners with a circular curve. The front would be back while the sides and the back would be unibody metal.

Transparent electronics were the best. I want them back

This. The ergonomics are amazing. I mean, reading books, watching movies, and playing games are all 100% better on a triangular screen. You can see everything, excluding the top left and right corners, of a movie or game. So much better than these rectangles.

I wish Sabre (specifically the Dunder Mifflin) was in Apple's position. We would be in a much better world.

I want a tablet that is 15.2" the same size as my laptop screen, and 1/8th of the weight of the laptop.

Reminds me of an Illuminati symbol; triangle/pyramid

Seems like a huge disadvantage for the sake ergonomics.

Unless you're being sarcastic, but you didn't use a smilie...
