Shows off radical new user interface in Linux-based device.
Emblaze, which is soon to be re-named ELSE (which makes the name of its new handset a little confusing), has built a genuinely new style UI into the phone, which is based around what looks like a fan emerging from one side of the touchscreen.
The user employs his or her thumb to roll around the 'spokes' of this fan to find the feature required and then lets go to open it. It's fast and needs only one hand.
Emblaze this will differentiate it from other phones and accelerate the triumph of the mobile over multiple consumer electronics devices. It is powered by ELSE Intuition, the new mobile platform jointly developed by ACCESS on the Linux platform.
“The promise of a ubiquitous connected digital world can only be realized when the underlying technology becomes completely transparent to the end user,”
said Tomihisa Kamada, president, CEO and co-founder of ACCESS.
“The First ELSE combines the elegance and simplicity of design that make mobile technology more accessible to users."
The First ELSE is expected to be commercially available in 2010.
