Fujitsu concept phones

fujitsu_concept_5.jpgFujitsu's industrial designers are showing off their ideas in Milan this week.

The first concept mobile phone is a landscape-orientation unit designed more for browsing than making calls. Dubbed the "slider", it sports a full keyboard - the keys are touch-sensitive, we presume - for web use, texting and instant messaging.

Fujitsu's "multi-slider" features a virtual keypad allowing it to display a pad appropriate to whichever way the keypad slides out: left, right, up or down. There are four buttons on the front which would make the machine very tempting as a music playback device.
