Congratulations, you’re having a boy! The Swedish developer of mobile devices and pioneer in buttonless touchscreen mobile phones – will be presenting their new son Neonode N1 at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona. The Neonode N1 will also feature touchscreen/gesture user interface (UI) similar to the iPhone.

Neonode introduced its first buttonless and fully touchscreen controlled mobile phone as early as 2004. Now, three years later, the concept is expected to be a powerful trendsetter in the sector. Neonode’s new mobile are being exhibited at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona from February 12th to February 15th, and will be released onto the European market during the spring.

“We will be exhibiting a strong product, which shows that one does not need to be the biggest to be at the forefront of development,” says Tommy Hallberg, CEO of Neonode AB.
