The first phone to use the Onyx concept is expected to hit the market end of Q4 or early Q1 of 2007. I was informed of this back when the Onyx was first announced. However, please note that this info may change at anytime.

Keep the overall industrial design but make it a little smaller and thinner, add a 3MP camera to the back and a 0.3MP cam to the front, 100Mb internal storage with memory card expansion and tighten up the UI’s responsiveness and you’re looking at a killer phone. Considering Synaptics’s predicted commercial release of ClearPad, such stats are certainly doable and would compete nicely against most phones out in the market. Especially if they can get it down to a thin enough size.

Personally, I love the UI concept. I’d buy one as soon as it hit the stores.[/quote]

Baby steps. Lets just get over getting the touchpad/ClearPad to consistently work.

[quote comment="3311"]now just add a megapixel cam on the front for web chat and video calls, at least an 8 megapixel on the back including a zeon flash, enough storage for a multimedia libary (audio,video,applications,customization options)100GB,all comunications via bluetooth,infared,wifi,etc,true plus broadband speed internet access a sizable unit.

Add that to a responsive and faster UI and you would have phone of the masses…

Unfourtunately this will be all you’ll be able to sample people because we wont see anything lke this for at least another 5 years…

future Android cellphone development comes from the presence of Synaptics, cryptically listed in the Open Handset Alliance member directory as supplying ”a variety of user input solutions for mobile devices”. Our sister-site, SlashGear, scoredan exclusive hands-onlate last year with one of Synaptics concept devices, the Onyx, which at the time was rumoured to form the basis of Apple’s iPhone. Instead, Apple went with a relatively home-grown model and Synaptics licenced their multiple-touch-sensitive

LG’s Prada phone rather upset the Apple-cart. Until the slender fashion-handset stepped into the limelight, analysts were happily joining up the dots betweenSynaptic’s Onyx conceptand Apple’s iPhone, and fully expecting to see the capacitive ClearPad technology appear in Cupertino’s long-awaited handset. Then out struts the LG, and all of a sudden the catwalk is decidedly more crowded than perhaps Apple expected it to be.
