Art Lebedev has a new concept for an input device. This “keyboard” doesn’t actually have physical keys, it’s just one large programmable touch-sensitive display. Think iPhone keyboard, just much larger and completely programmable.
You know, with Apple filing for multi-touch patents like it’s going out of style, I think we’ll be seeing concepts like these in the wild soon enough. In fact, I think “laptops” will look more like overgrown Nintendo DS Lites with the bottom, touch-sensitive screen acting as the primary source for input.
If it were up to me we’d all be using Wacom Cintiq tablets, as I already use an Intuos exclusively.
