YotaPhone see it to belive it | Touch screen on one side – eReader on the other.
Spotted earlier by the folks over at TC. The YotaPhone is a powerful Android-based phone with extended touch areas and HD resolution display. The electronic paper display (EPD) is your personal space for receiving notifications, linking to your social media, reading news as it happens or simply displaying your favorite pictures. The two sides are linked together to open a new world of unlimited user experiences.
Sounds like a great design to me, I’m excited to see what these folks have in store. Releases for the YotaPhone are said to be taking place in Q3 of 2013.
