A German engineer has created a 10 times scale version of the iPhone 4 with a 40 inch screen which offers iPhone-esque computer functions - but also doubles up as a table.
The "iTableous" has exactly the same design as the Apple mobile right down to the on and off buttons, the camera and the accelerometer.
It is covered by 8mm strong plexiglass and can flip onto its side to make using it more easy.
But before you start placing your order, be aware that the iTableous isn't quite as hi-tech as it might appear. It does not have a touchscreen and can't even be used to make phone calls.
Its creator Benjamin Bachmeier has admitted that it functions more like a desktop computer, although it can connect to the Internet via wireless 3G.
The iTableous is 118cm long and 58.9cm wide, around 10 times larger than the iPhone 4, which is 11.5cm long and 5.8cm wide.
Users operate the computer using a keyboard and a mouse sitting on or next to the screen.
Just like a real iPhone the speakers are at the bottom of the case, only these ones are powered with a subwoofer, two mid range tweeters and two other speakers.
The Home button does not work but lifts up to hide a 30-pin connector - so you can connect devices, including, oddly, a real iPhone.
The iTableous runs off Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6.7 and has a 500GB hard disk and 4GB of RAM.
At the top just where the camera should be Mr Bachmeier has installed a 5.7-megapixel HD camera right which allows video conferencing when connected to the Internet.
He has also converted what is normally the sleep button to a giant power switch.
Other parts include a flap which appears to be a giant SIM card cover, but actually opens up to let you look at the circuitry inside.
The swinging function flips the entire device 90 degrees on its side so the user can sit on the floor whilst using it.




据英国《每日邮报》报道，一位德国工程师创造了超大版本的iPhone 4，它的尺寸是iPhone 4原型的10倍，有一个40英寸的屏幕。这个超大款iPhone 4不仅有电脑功能，同时还能当桌子用。

这款"苹果桌子"和苹果手机有着完全一样的设计，右下开关按钮，相机和加速器。

它的表层是8毫米强有机玻璃覆盖板，并可以将其的另一面翻转过来，使其使用更加方便。

但在您开始考虑发指令前，要注意的是"苹果桌子"并不是特别高科技，因为它没有触屏，更不能用来打电话。

虽然它可以通过无线3G连接互联网，但它的制造者本杰明•拜彻尔承认它更像一台台式电脑。

该巨型iPhone 4长118厘米、宽58.9厘米，而iPhone 4原型长11.5厘米、宽5.8厘米，正好是原型大小的10倍。
这台电脑的使用者可以用键盘和屏幕旁边的鼠标进行操作。

同真的iPhone一样，这款 "苹果桌子"的扬声器在机身下部，由一个重低音喇叭和两个中高音喇叭及其他两个喇叭组成。
主页按钮虽然样子货，但却隐藏了一个30针的连接器，可供连接设备，比如一个真正的iPhone。

"苹果桌子"运行Windows7和苹果操作系统10.6.7，有500GB的硬盘和4GB的储存。

拜彻尔先生在顶部安装了一个5.7兆像素的高清摄像头，可以在联网时开视频会议。

除此之外，他还把待机键改装成一个大型电源开关。

其他改装包括一个看似像SIM卡盖，但实际上是可以打开以查看内部电路的翻盖。

整台机器的翻转功能能使其翻转90度，供用户坐在地板上使用。
