Sony is going to unveil next Smartphone with two physical keypads - one for gaming and other one for comfortable typing. A patent filed by Sony in October 2010 suggests a Smartphone with two different keyboards and was discovered by Engadget.  Now the company is working on a device that is alike to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Play but with an additional keyboard. Ome Keyboard is designed especially for gaming with controls similar to that of Xperia Play and another one is additional QWERTY keypad that can be used by the user for comfortable typing and alphabet punching.
On the basis of which patent was filed, company seems to have no progress on this concept device. Since company has alienated from Ericsson it is looking forward to creative devices like the Sony Tablet P. From the beginning Sony is known for great designs and this is another example of its world class imagination. Sony now has to focus more on slimness of the device as the size of Smartphone’s has become a big selling point these days.
