Nokia’s Aeon Cellphone Concept
Nokia has released images of Aeon, a concept phone that combines two touch-sensitive panels mounted on a fuel-cell power pack.
Each of the panels is capable of being used independently. The touch-screen displays man that all ‘buttons’ are virtual, so in one situation one panel could operate as the display, the other as the keypad. In another the roles could be reversed. Or each display could serve both functions.
Devices like this are all part of Nokia’s vision of ‘wearable technology’. Users could wear the lightweight panels as a badge, or connected to a wrist-strap. Nokia are also keen to set up a new wireless standard. Wibree is essentially an upgraded Bluetooth which would allow the Aeon to be a ‘thin-client’, farming out processing and storage tasks to static servers.
Nokia’s research and development team have kicked it up a gear with an attractive “aeon” concept phone showing up in the R&D section of the company’s website. The most prominent design feature of aeon is a touchscreen that stretch over the full surface area of the phone, similar to BenQ-Siemens’s Black box idea phone we saw recently. Currently mobile technology isn’t quite up to realizing this fantasy, but we’ll sleep better tonight knowing that at least one of the cell phone industry’s biggest names shares the same dream as we do — BenQ’s dream didn’t count, unluckily.
