The form development took its cues from various aerodynamic, avian and decidedly feminine forms. Its erect posture intends a sense of poise while its supine conformity to the hand reconciles that with the user’s desire for digital control.
Is it getting hot in here, or is it just me? *fans self*

Some nice ideas… but, to quote The Steve, “Real artists ship”.

It’s a lot easier to create a cool, sexy video of features when you don’t care whether the features are even possible.
This clip kicks the Droid TV spots’ ass into the next dimension and slams the door.
You know, I was thinking the other day that I hate Droid phones without really knowing why. Then I realized, it’s those goddamned commercials. They all seemed to be aimed at a 17 year old boy who thinks he’s going to impress girls with his over-clocked, liquid cooled PC. You know, like the kind of guy you knew in high school who knew way too much about firearms and pretended to have a black belt in Jujitsu and/or a girlfriend in the next town over that no one ever saw. THAT guy.
Regarding this phone, it seems like any other phone with some projector functions of dubious utility tacked on. Projected keyboard? Looks all sci-fi awesome, but is it really going to be any better than the physical keyboard I have on my POS non-smart, comes-with-the-contract phone? Because that keyboard works perfectly. And I have no idea what this “pan and zoom in 3D space” jazz means or is supposed to be useful for.

Putting a trackpad on a phone is a step backward, cool technology or not. The moment you put it there, developers will write apps that rely on it, meaning handheld use is limited. And who uses their phone flat on a table anyway? The only time I set my phone down is when I’m not using it or when I need my hands free for some other task.
Now, this could be for lack of caffeine, but I saw a lot of features…
…except for the motherfucking phone.
Works off your home wireless? BFD.
Now, it would be fucking cool if somebody installed some wide range hotspots (perhaps piggybacking on home hotspots where cell phone users would pay you for your unused bandwidth) and all the Cell Providers (ATT, TMobile, etc) could all go take a flying fuck. They would become dinosaurs as fast as Blockbuster did.

All I want to know is will it work in our kitchen? Or on the main drag in my Socal town? On the road down to the beach?
If our cars worked like our damned cell phones do, we’d leave them alongside the road and walk!

Vaporware, but not out of the realm of possibility.
