In recent 3GSM World Congress in France, a company called Wacom had hacked a Nokia 3650 to accept touch-screen interface (sort of...) and this trick is using a special electromagnet stylus that is pressure-sensitive and works even if you only hover the stylus over the screen. From the picture shown, we're a little bit surprise coz it looks like UIQ on 3650!!! I mean, by default, Series 60 doesnt accept touch-screen navigation and to enable the touchscreen, UIQ must be used... Take a look and judge for yourself...
Looks like Wacom is adapting Penabled, its pressure-sensitive active digitizer screen technology, which is used in a lot of Tablet PCs, for use in smartphones and cellphones. Sure, you could just throw a touchscreen in there (there are plenty of phones with that, like the Treo 600 or the Philips 755, which is pictured at right), but the advantage of using Penabled is that the screen only responds to a special electromagnetic pen (which works even when you just hover the pen over the screen), so you don??€�t have to worry about accidentally pressing a button on the screen while you??€�re trying to write something out or disconnecting a call when your face is all up against the phone while making a call (which we??€�ve seriously done a bunch of times with our Treo) - Engadget.
