NeoKeys has an interesting smart keypad concept. The tiny LCD screen is placed above the phone’s middle 12 keys that displays the appropriate options and menus.
This way, each time you select a particular option, the middle 12 keys will display commands for that particular option only.
I’m not sure just how much I want this on my phone. I guess the solid touchscreen interface could solve many issues users may have with their handsets. Still, interesting approach. (via: Gizmodo)

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do.
In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. 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.
Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
