I'm sure after a few years of using a touchscreen pad, even the staunchest supporter of button keypads will wonder how they ever got by having to press buttons all the time.<br><br>As with any proof of concept, I doubt we'll ever see this phone on the market. To be honest, I'd prefer if Synaptics focused on implementing their proprietary technologies into useful applications that would benefit immediately rather than nifty toys whos use would have to catch up to the technology.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Sean]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 29th 2006 3:03PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
