Neonode N2

Apple isn't the only company with a shiny new touch screen phone. Unlike the iPhone, however, Neonode's N2 will be available in more than one country when it launches in Europe later in the year.

Like its fruity competitor, the N2 dispenses with a stylus in favour of finger input. It also supports gestures, making it quick to access common functions. For example, to open the menu from the start page, just sweep your finger up from the bottom left hand corner.

It can handle both music and video playback and media is stored on a removable MiniSD card, so you can increase the capacity just by buying a larger card. Its camera can take snaps up to two megapixels and it measures 47x77x15mm and weighs 60g.

The N2 will be available later in the year, price will depend upon contract. See the Neonode website for further information.
