i always wanted a phone like hers.

Except hers seemed to be part Tamagochi as well. Which would be another interesting upgrade in the interface; where you phone literally become a personal assistant that communicates back to you.]]>Dec 14th 2009 3:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Dec 14th 2009 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Dec 15th 2009 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Dec 14th 2009 11:47AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/
Yes, it's a fake, the interface is added on top of the video. Very clear at the end, and even before if you pay attention. Cheap cheap cheap!]]>Dec 14th 2009 11:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/
motion tracking fail. the tracking markers are on the background and not on the device itself.

look at the background. thats what those crosses are for.]]>Dec 14th 2009 1:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Also, btw, why aren't the gestures presented on the Onyx standard for every touch smartphone yet?
Are they patented? That'd be a great addition to multitouch

I'd totally buy this phone here, it's an awesome innovation=) this and the touch gestures should be integrated into the First ELSE (remember that UI-standard-breaking phone, right?) and my dream phone is ready =p]]>Dec 14th 2009 11:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Dec 14th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/
You're right. It's a little like the English language being too confusing with multiple spellings for similar sounding words.]]>Dec 14th 2009 12:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/
Well considering most of us learn English from the second we're born I'm not sure your analogy can apply to what I'm saying... but you might be onto why English is so complicated to learn as a second language.

If you look at this from a UI standpoint (not GUI) then you should be able to clearly see why so many interface points could be confusing to the everyday consumer... as opposed to geeks like us that frequent engadget.... just saying.]]>Dec 14th 2009 1:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/word!

People'll get used to using that thing as well as to touchscreen phones. I don't wanna know how many people said that there couldn't be a phone without keys when the touchscreen concept came out... Just wait for Apple to adopt this idea and you'll see how it's gonna work hehehe]]>Dec 14th 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Yeah, it's a fake OS...why would they spent all that time writing drivers for all those sensors and implementing API stuff into android, or whatever OS -- just for a concept phone?]]>Dec 14th 2009 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/14/synaptics-fuse-concept-handset-puts-a-new-squeeze-on-touchphone/Gives you virtual buttons on the sides to play games without obscuring the screen.
And maybe using back touchpad can display cursor on screen to use in lieu of touching the screen.

You can clearly see that the interface is added after the shooting;
There are motion-tracking points around the bachground;
No real screen reflects the shadow of a finger while it's ON - this is a graphic failure of whoever designed that clip;
In the 3 cuts where the device doesn't move, it's because that is not a video but a frame-capture/freeze;
The device shown in the clip doesn't even have a screen - you can clearly see that in the last cut, when the failed motion-tracking reveals a clean white PLASTIC!

You were led on...]]>Dec 20th 2009 1:22PM
