Flex it, baby! Nokia's new interface is seriously twisted

LONDON--Multitouch revolutionized user interfaces, and if Nokia researchers get their way, a mobile device that's sensitive to how it's being flexed could be the next revolution.


At the Nokia World show here, the Finnish mobile phone maker showed off its "Nokia kinetic device" with a flexible display. Gripped with two hands, it would scroll through music collections or photo albums when twisted. Bowing it inward or outward zoomed photos in and out or paused and played music, while tapping the corners panned through photos.

While it was a real computing device with a real OLED display, it's most definitely not a real product anyone could buy today. More firmly in the prototype category was a related flexible device that looked like a slim remote control; it could be controlled with a single hand.

Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia 900 leak just before Nokia World 2011 kicks off

Ladies and gents, the much anticipated Nokia Windows Phone devices seem to have leaked out in their final version hours before Nokia World 2011 kicks off. Welcome, Nokia's "bunch of phones:" the Nokia Lumia 800, the Nokia Lumia 710 and the Nokia 900, but keep that shade of doubt about the veracity of their specs and the actual names until the official announcement confirms those.

In the meantime, though, we'd mention that they definitely look credible – the Nokia Lumia 800, previously appearing under the Sea Ray codename, has now been confirmed to look almost exactly like the MeeGo-based Nokia N9. The biggest difference will be in the smaller screen – the N9 has a 3.9” display, while the Lumia 800 is expected to feature a 3.7” AMOLED screen.
