Mozilla Labs Seabird: what an 'Open Web' mobile phone of the future could look like (video)
A few commenters on the Mozilla Labs blog have pointed out that it would be impossible to squeeze such hardware into that form factor -- but this is a concept! Not a reality! It's also only nominally a phone: the video doesn't show a single example of actually making a call.
It's truly beautiful, though, and I'm not ashamed to admit that the Bluetooth-and-infrared dongle left a rather large pool of saliva at the base of my computer chair.

Those commenters at the Mozilla Labs blog have no idea what they're talking about.
If shown the modern smartphone and it's capabilities 20 years ago in a similar concept video people would have said it's impossible. This concept could be possible in only a few years.

They mean it's impossible with todays technology.

Uh, the Concept Series is subtitled "Design the Future". That makes the commenters even dumber.

I here that. They couldn't possibly be any dumberer.

It's a great idea but the whole concept is essentially hardware related. The only thing here to do with the open web is that it has Firefox on it. Also, It's clear from the disclaimer that Mozilla has zero interest in creating a mobile device or a mobile operating system.

Clearly placing a 3.5mm jack socket on the side is not a great idea if you, like me put the phone in your pocket with the headphones attached....
