Kyocera Concept Changes Display Based on Activity

On top of showing a fancy foldable UMPC concept, Kyocera (NYSE: KYO) has some design photos of a phone called the NXT with a context-sensitive display. Controls change depending on whether you’re playing a video game or watching a movie. The real usefulness would rely on how seamlessly the phone transitioned between modes – after all, there are plenty of third party apps that can do this sort of stuff already, but the biggest hurdle is readily accessing them. To be fair, the UMPC is a little more, shall we say, avant garde, but the phone looks like something that is actually feasible with current technology. Kyocera isn’t exactly renown for their high-end handsets, however, so this might be little more than a creative pipe dream.
