Yesterday, Google’s CEO Larry Page made an appearance at the Google Zeitgeist event in London with some ungainly lump of plastic clinging to the side of his head.

iphone-plus4
[gallery] As we settle gently into the part of the year known colloquially as ‘When will Apple launch the iPhone 5?’ it’s normally the case that more and more wannabe Jonathan Ives flex their design skills on mockups of their own. Thing is, we think we’ve just found the best of the lot. Read more
