Nokia's touch-screen idea--from 2006
(Credit: Crave Asia)Nokia will have touch-screen mobile phones in the future--that much we know from its announcement recently about S60 (Symbian Series60) handsets supporting touch-sensitive displays. What is less known, however, is that the Finnish giant had filed patent documents for such phones dating back to May 2006.
In the document discovered by Unwired View on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office site, Nokia envisioned a device with two screens to display different kinds of information depending on the angle at which the clamshell is opened. Control of the device is possible using either the buttons or the display.

create anything too cool. Either way, I'm sure the UI on such a device will suck
ass.
There's a reason there's only one iPhone: It's not easy to create a cool device
that's actually usable.
But then again, what more can be expected from an Apple Fanboi?

- First of all, the iphone is not even a new implementation of new technology, nor is it the only device with a good UI. It is simply the most advertised and therefore overhyped. Also, this reminds me of a concept firs seen with NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese WCDMA and 1seg provider which had one ordinary tft and one touchscreen. And you morons need to open your eyes and stop following crapple like it's your god or something. There has not been an original apple device for a decade. Apple only buys their technology anyway.
