The newest Optimus - the Optimus Upravlator
Everyone knows about the Optimus keyboard and the Optimus Mini Three. Art Lebedev Studio has now unveiled their newest strike of genius - the Optimus Upravlator. Keeping with the theme of LCD buttons you actually get 12 of them this time. There are a lot of possible uses for this. The monitor behind the buttons is 10.4 inches large and features a resolution of 640x480. Each button is "4-way" with a fifth center button. The unit should be available in Q2 2007.

(actually, industrial applications where the user is wearing gloves might be one application... but I also think rotary click knobs, or throw-switchs, are better, since they have more "positive feedback" and are less prone to mis-selection. A rotaty knob also has the opportunity to input the "amount" or "level" desired)
