Touchless phone with a touchpad

Even though it sounds silly, here’s an interesting idea for touchless mobile interaction with a touchpad. Korean company Pantech patented the concept. This phone can recognize finger writing on top of the keys, so users would be allowed to draw as well as typing as they used to (as seen in the picture). Keeping the touchpad smooths the transition from current habits to touchless devices and increases the immediate functionalities. (via touch for mobiles)
