OLED keyboards, which carry the promise of user-programmable button configurations, is finally coming to cell phones.
South Korean company Sky's IM-R200 cell phone has two screens, the second of which slides out of the bottom and can be programmed in different patterns and button orders (to make text-messaging more convenient, for instance).
As it stands there are only 27 configurations for the second screen's details, but that number is bound to move northward in subsequent models as OLED technology becomes cheaper.

That's a really awesome idea, especially having color differentiation on the keys...
but what about for older people?
My Mom is only 54 and she can hardly ever see the buttons on her cell phone (though she's a f*cking whiz at text messaging).
They should give the option to make the numbers bigger, and ditch the letters all together, for people like my Grandma, who never send a text message in her life.
