Meehan declined to go into specific detail at the event as to what exactly those “pretty cool things” might be, but he did suggest that non-standard form-factors may be high on INQ’s agenda.  ”Device design is something we really focus on,” he told Om Malik, “and [we're] looking beyond QWERTY and touch to wrap-around and flexible screens.”

It’s unlikely that Meehan intends for INQ Mobile’s first Android device to be some super-adaptable wunderfone complete with pull-out display, but we certainly wouldn’t argue with either new Android form-factors or a general broadening of consume options for the platform.  No word on when the Android INQ Mobile devices could first appear, however.
