HTC is working on updating the user interface for its touchscreen smartphones. The design is likely to be a successor to Sense UI and TouchFLO. The handset would have the organization and layout of a virtual book, as the description in the patent application shows.

The HTC’s TouchFLO 3D user interface for Windows Mobile seems to be the best way to navigate Microsoft platform Applications, web pages and widgets could, in HTC’s vision, be represented as pages of a virtual book, so that they are made very intuitive for users when they browse and organize their widgets. The interface will be flexible enough for service providers and carriers to be able to add custom services, applications and widgets as extra pages in a book.

The interface might reach a production handset or only continue to exist as a concept. Also unknown are the target platforms, although HTC crossover interfaces working on both Windows Mobile and Android exist.
