Fentix Cube brings Rubik's into the 21st century with brighter games
If Ernő Rubik grew up with the Lite Brite in his life, his cube would look more like the one above. That there's a Fentix Cube, and it uses multi-touch touchscreens and 216 LEDs of various colors to tease your mind and look good doing it.
Designed by Andrew Fentem, the Fentix Cube does much more than its counterpart, capable of providing a bevy of intellectually challenging games. Unfortunately, it'll be pretty hard to get your hands on one because the glowy blocks will be sold in limited quantities at the Kinetica Museum in London.

I guess Apple may show an iPhone with that six multi-touch screens in the near future. Two pantents from Apple, which I listed below refer to a "display embedded housing" (US20040156192A1) and a "multi-touch embdded housing" (US20060197750A1), respectively. So, summing up to patents means an iPhone with multi-touch and multi-display like the Fentix Cube.
