From the folks at Symbian-Freak (because I don't know where else this was posted before hand)...

..would this work as a possible (hardware and UX) design direction for the IT/N-series Nokia devices?

I really can't help thinking: "Detachable screen? As if I'm never going to lose that".

Also, why is the keypad so small? It seems there's a lot of wasted space on the bottom section for what I can only perceive as "kewl style" reasons.

This seems to be a graphics design made by a 23 year old student on his own. Nothing "by Nokia", as the images say.

How many people spend any substantial portion of their days away from a relatively large place to put a computer-like device?

I don't. I'm either in a car or in a house, usually. When I go jogging, I need a cell phone, perhaps, and that's about it. I don't do a lot of typing on the run.

So, when the real future gets here, I think all we will need to bring with us for most purposes is an eye or fingerprint for identification. We'll just plug in to whatever is wherever we are. A cell phone might still come in handy, but a do-it-all portable device? Why? We just need built-in computers everywhere.

This is a bad idea unless you know of an algorithm that lets you trust just any ol' input device. If so, please share. Otherwise, always bring your own.

Memory is becoming really small these days, and it gets easily replicated online. Why not having the memory and processor with you and using the convenient peripherals you will find when moving around (screens, speakers, keyboards...)

as if "kewl style reasons" would ever influence design decisions these days.
