The Apple iRead concept by Alvar Sans is a bracelet bookmark that can save your page while you're typing away on your laptop (which I'll presume is a MacBook, for the sake of consistent branding). Alvar Sans doesn't indicate whether the Apple iRead concept has any digital features, but it'd be neat if the bracelet also functioned as a wireless remote.
With the rise of the iPod and the release of the iPad, Apple-branded concept designs from creatives have been on the rise in a big way. See more shots of the Apple iRead concept above.
