Nokia has patented such a thing. Although the layer order might be reversed-- I don't remember.

oh wow!
did you had a bad day?

4.5-inch is currently the most popular choice but it’s closely followed by 4-inch. The display itself is universally 16:9 capacitive and the option of a QWERTY keyboard is also very popular. Of course, all that could change over the next few days.

this is a very interesting marketing tool as it forces you to design a new unit, to a budget, and prioritise what you feel is important. It will give Nokia - and anyone else who sees the results - a really good idea of what is actually important to users - not just the constant whining that the most recent must have is missing. - Choose wisely!
it pushes you into a position were you have to decide on what is actually important rather than just saying you want "blah blah blah" - inset perfect design specs regardless of cost
very clever piece of research!

My complaint, which everyone seems to have missed, is not that I can't design a super duper mega deluxe ultra, expensive phone that I wouldn't buy anyway ,)
It is that Nokia gave us a great big sandbox to play in for "Design by Community", then cordoned off a small area in the middle that Nokia is comfortable with as acceptable. If they were really looking for a "new" way to go based on community input, they'd ahve allowed submissions outside the good range, just to see.
The link to the article proves it. They were shocked that anybody would want one of the bigger screens! I seriously doubt that capacitive was "universal", leading by a very large margin, yes, universal no. As we know, the next Maemo/MaeMeeGo/MeeGo device is going to be capacitive multi touch. It would reflect badly on the design dept if capacitive won by anything less than a "universal" landslide

That would be great. And Blu-ray support, so we can actually use the 21:9 screen
