And the concept of the day is SLIQ, designed by Mike Serafin. This baby is a dream device that sports the large “advanced touch interface,” which hopefully works much better than current touchscreens. Also noticeable is the device’s thickness (or that’s thinness) of just 10 mm, and the Samsung badge. We’re not sure whether Samsung sponsored this work, but they certainly could learn something from it.
Furthermore, this device sports a 2 MP camera with Schneider-Kreuznach lens that looks like it retracts into the SLIQ’s slightly bulging top section. Retraction means optical zoom, at least where I stand.
Finally, the SLIQ features a crank that powers it up, meaning that it could work without a battery. That’s a theory at least.
Hopefully, Samsung – the company that knows how to make ultra-thin devices will surprise us soon with a similar handset. (via: Yanko Design)

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.
