concept phone with only a touchscreen for UI

[Matthew S. Hamrick]

It's interesting.. here in the states, people really love the tactile  
feedback you get with a "real" keyboard. But I've heard several  
people say that touch screens are quite popular in Asia. If so, that  
might explain why BenQ (and not Motorola) did this design and maybe  
Apple is thinking about the iPhone for the Asian market instead of  
the US market. Also... myPhone development has been greatly  
simplified by having a touchscreen as the primary input. We can try  
out all sorts of control layouts without having to print new keypads.
