"The Redfly Mobile Companion from Celio is a mini notebook-size device that effectively serves as a hand- and eye-friendly shell for Windows Mobile smartphones. It has a larger, relatively standard keyboard so you don't have to thumb type and an LCD screen measuring eight inches in diameter. Connect the Redfly to the smartphone and the data going to and from the phone shows up on the larger screen instead." More - http://www.celiocorp.com/products.php

Looks like another company had Palm's Foleo idea. Not quite sure about the graphics, but I reckon it's a market to be tapped - pretty useful things if done right.

"Expansys Hong Kong also unveiled more details about the upcoming MWG Zinc II which is another brand new Windows Mobile 6 Professional smartphone from Mobile Wireless Group (MWG). Based on a Samsung ARM CPU at 500 MHz, the Zinc II also supports quadband GSM/GPRS and triband UMTS/HSDPA up to 3.6 Mbps as well as WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, a SiRF Star III GPS receiver and an FM radio with RDS."

Looks like a pretty neat phone; nicely specced too. Battery life is always a concern, and WM61 I'm not that sure about, but seems like the best up-and-coming phone so far this year for me.

"The HTC Touch is the first device to feature TouchFLO, the new underlying touch screen technology developed by HTC. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most. TouchFLO also enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of Web pages, documents, messages and contact lists."

Everyone's getting in on touch, and they've even fiddled with the interface to make it more friendly. Here's some nice videos: http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3899
