Nokia Aeon concept of touchy feely

Everyone’s getting all touchy-feely these days, the Aeon has brought feature a full touchscreen surface that does away with the standard keypad. The Nokia Aeon concept was somehow inspired by Synaptics Onyx. It is based on 2 touch sensative screens fastened together by fuel cell battery. Nokia is keen to have phones like this hit the market and also have them wearable.The 2 touch screens can act as anything you like, such as the buttons on one side, the screen on the other, or in any form you like. The handset’s connectivity and electronics are built into the panels to allow them to be used independendently. When assembled, one panel would operate as the display, the other as the keypad. Since the buttons are entirely virtual, Aeon can flip instantly between a numeric pad for dialling, a text-entry pad for messaging, or a media-player controller. It’s a cute idea and one that ties in with Nokia’s expectation that phones will become essentially “wearable” devices - if foresees users removing one of Aeon’s display panels and mounting it on a watch-like strap or worn as a badge. Likely, This concept will not be easily seen in shops soon. But NetEase site reports, Nokia researchers actually get to play with a real live Nokia Aeon model in their labs. Nokia Aeon concept phone brings about the most futuristic cellphone.
