[IxDA Discuss] Neonode N2 and gesture-based UI

[pauric]

Petteri, very interesting design.  I noted that the speaker/microphone
seem to be on the back of the device... it says in section 4 

"while talking on the our Neonode, you hold it with the backside
against your ear, with the screen facing away from you"

Apart from the initial mindwarp learning curve.  Do you not feel
there's a security issue in people potentially seeing your contact
details in public?

That aside, I really like the way the screen is sectioned in to
three: start/keyboard/sweep.  I'm a fan of noun/verb
(applications/actions) interfaces.  Its a scalable design.  However,
do you feel maybe that its a little 'engineering centric'?

After all, in the website's marketing blurb they say this: "To make
it convenient and fast to access all features and content of the
device, we also designed our own user interface. It has a similar
structure to a PC, but without deep and complex menus." I love the
design, it suits me but... I'm a geek.
