"You can build casings with functional characteristics, and the alloy’s properties as an antenna can be optimized. This is a highly flexible material. Apple could do some very creative cases. They could come up with some very creative uses that no one can predict right now.

The glass metal antenna idea echoes Engadget’s report about a Verizon iPhone with a redesigned internal antenna and a Digitimes piece calling for an all-metal back plate on the device.

Liquidmetail posseses more than twice the strength of titanium, the processability of plastics, and can store and retrieve very high density of elastic energy in a mechanical device. In addition, metal glass is also corrosion resistant and scratch-proof while being very light."
