From the Take it for what it's worth department....

Apple?s next iPhone will be cased in ?Liquidmetal?, according to reports.

The same Korean news outlet has also predicted that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S3, due to launch on May 3 in London, will be made out of high-tech ceramics.

Interesting, indeed. I guess we will know soon enough. I don't care what it's made of as long as the build quality is top notch and the device is professional looking.

I hope they go this route. The glass iphone just is too easy to break. No point in having a slick looking phone if you need to put it in a case to try and protect it from any little fall.

It all comes down to money. Unless Apple has big enough economy of scale, you can kiss that Liquidmetal body goodbye. It's a sure thing that they won't cut into their own profits.
