A liquid phone?

I guess the upcoming iPhone has already made much news. Nothing is making much news now than the proposed liquidmetal the new iPhone will come in. Liquidmetal is a solid made up of titanium, copper, nickel and zirconium among other metals, therefore liquidmetal is actually solid. It was developed in 2003 by the California Institute of Technology. So, why liquidmetal for the new iPhone? Liquidmetal has some wonderful properties that Apple would like to exploit; actually liquidmetal was used for the SIM ejector tool for the iPhone 4 and 4S. I guess that was an experimental trial for the next iPhone. Talk of a very tough, light metal which is said to feel as liquid or glass when touched (now you know why it’s called liquidmetal). The iPhone has always been a step ahead of its competitors though I think Samsung is giving them a run for their money. The hype of liquidmetal is already a big boost for the phone as people will like to know how it feels. The toughness of liquidmetal would mean it’s very difficult to shatter, very very light (that of plastic), and scratch resistant and very smooth to touch. So will you like to have a liquidmetal iphone 5 probably? I will like a Samsung Note though.
