Taiwan-based BenQ has recently shows us that it can too think all-touchscreen. Their concept device boasts a large touchscreen that is used for both display and input purposes. Next, similarly to the iPhone, this concept can be used in both portrait and landscape mode, with latter being reserved for video playback and similar functions.
But, unlike the iPhone this device has a movable pad, that is used for changing the control method – bringing the pad to the middle converts the interface into a traditional phone design, while sliding it back creates an extra space for video and music playback.
The bad thing – this is still a concept. I wouldn’t mind being among the first one to test it. (via: TheLatestGadgets)

Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
