NTT DoCoMo showed off a new concept phone with a swiveling screen that can be twisted into a widescreen mode, better suited for viewing movies and other media. It also has an iPod-like touch-sensitive control wheel, which Babelfish translates as butting up against the ‘cruciform key,’ which gives it an talismanic overtone that I like so much I may start using that term all the time. The OnQ concept sits in a hard drive television recorder cradle, which performs standard PVR functions, then copies select shows to the phone for later viewing. It’s a little awkward looking, but intriguing.
