HTC Phones - HTC Is Developing New Virtual Book Touch UI?

We have known about HTC’s TouchFlo 3D and HTC Sense UI. It’s pretty good. And it’s said that HTC is working on new Virtual Book Touch UI. Check out the drawings below. Although Amazon have released Kindle 2 and Sony released SonyReader, it’s really a good idea.

Described in HTC patent application, called “Electronic device and user interface display method thereof”, the book like UI:

organizes applications, widgets, and web pages into pages of a virtual book. Each page of the virtual book is the UI of a service or function of the handheld electronic device. Flipping the pages of the virtual book means browsing and selecting the services and functions provided by the handheld electronic device. This book-like UI enables the user to use and manage these applications, widgets, and web pages in an easy and intuitive way like browsing a conventional printed book. The book-like UI hides the differences among applications, widgets, and web pages so that the handheld electronic device can be accessed through a uniform and convenient UI.
