Neat cellphone idea

I was reading on PCMag.com today, and some people have made a cellphone prototype that uses a touchpad to combine screen and inputs. Makes a lot of sense, given that it lets them have both a bigger screen and more space/flexible layout for the buttons. I'd ask why no one had thought of it before, but they say its going to be rather expensive, so it was probably ridiculous before now.
