Mozilla’s Concept Series, a fine example of crowdsourcing, has hatched an idea for a smartphone - Seabird. The Seabird is designed to eradicate a few “frustrating physical interactions” by tossing in motion capture and projected keyboards. With this projector, the Seabird could function as a netbook.
