This is the new IcePhone, or rather a micro notebook, as dubbed by the manufacturer. The root Ice stands for In Case of Emergency, which means the device is definitely not targeted at the fashion-addicted market segment.

The IcePhone comes with three independent panels, which include a 3" touchscreen display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a mouse pad and game console controls.

It looks like China Mobile has asked Apple to disable the two features. Ok, they don't have 3G, but why kill Wi-Fi? It just doesn't make any sense...
