Neonode still at it, announcing device at 3GSM

by Chris Ziegler, posted Feb 1st 2007 at 7:49PM

Remember the Neonode N1 (and its modestly improved sibling, the N1m)? We had to wrack our brains for a second, but then we were all like, "Oh, Neonode! That sweet looking CE-based smartphone that just barely materialized in a couple European countries years after it was announced!" So apparently these guys are still in business (who knew?) and have some big, hot 'n heavy product announcement scheduled for 3GSM on February 12. Could this be the dual-mode device that Neonode hinted at nearly two years ago? We admit we're curious, despite the company delaying the N1 into oblivion and cursing it with a dual-band radio useless in the States. Don't let us down this time, guys and gals.

I guess I'm the only one that thinks it's pretty ugly. But those are possibly just concept shots.

It's ugly.

That shape is retarded. It's too square. I suppose maybe it'll be a slider or clamshell design? The corners don't look like how clamshell designs usually have. Anyway, the only thing that would liberate it will be if it's cheap, has a highly responsive UI, and has a WVGA display.

Their touch screen technology was way ahead of anyone elses when they intro'd it. I wonder what they will showcase on the 12th.

Hi all.
Flattering to see that you're interested in neonode & our future!
I work for neonode and I really hope the new Neonode will be well recieved when revealed at the 3GSM in Barcelona next week. In the mean time, kill some time at http://www.pregnantmanblog.com/
(our little "count-down" to the event next week.)

PS. Anyone knows where to get the best tapas in Barcelona? DS

Umm.. with profile likes like that (not to mention the edges only and not the center are metallic according to the 'sonogram'), I will call it like I see it.. looks like an iPhone!
