Lin Jian Feng Packs Convenience into One Smartphone

— February 3, 2011 — Tech
No matter how many people claim that QWERTY keyboards are convenient, it'll never come close to Lin Jian Feng's design.

Although it's currently a concept, Lin Jian Feng's creation will hopefully come into fruition one day. This smartphone has a slide-out keyboard from both ends that's surprisingly spacey. There's also a large screen that angles itself for better viewing, a trackpad and Windows 7 software. I wonder if Apple and BlackBerry will try and replicate this design.
