All-screen clamshell concept phone: A glimpse of the future

Works for me...

... assuming the soft keyboard is smart like Apple's iPhone implementation. I understand that there is haptic technology that could also be applied to these soft interface to solve the qualms over tactile feedback.

Actually, I think it is more important from a user interface to have the extended display than to have either haptics or a real keyboard. I spend more time reading than putting in data...

Keyless Phones and Computers

I think this technology is great to a point, but it appears to be discriminatory toward a large part of the population. I am referencing those with physical disabilities, such as the Blind, or other visual issues, those with severe arthritis, or some other form of disability that would prevent usage, even the older generation (of which I am a member) can have issues with this.

Having buttons allows the Blind to make phone calls (because there is always the center button to key from), or allow a button to be pushed via a pencil or other device.

Lets not go just half way with these devices, but consider the whole population, not just a part of it.

Just my humble thoughts.

Nice idea, but as was

Nice idea, but as was stated, you need tactile feedback of some sort, typing without physical buttons is a nightmare.

SOLUTION: have a very flexible touchscreen that has button shapes underneath that raise up and "outdent" the screen where the keys are.

You could have heaps of tiny little electromagnets (or other technology) that flip up or down depending on what buttons you need for each application.

Awesome phone

Great design, great idea, would look forward to this phone.

Digital Textbook !

This format would work great for a digital textbook application. The ability to display two pages simultaneously and allow markup of either page would make the concept of a digital textbook take off. I worked on a project where we tried to implement something like this but the costs were too high. Hope it pans out, if it does you can kiss Kindle goodbye!

Nice

Dude that is hands down the coolest phone I have ever seen.
