British firm Pelikon was showing off its MorphPad technology at MWC (http://www.engadget.com/tag/MWC/) this month, undoubtedly hoping to score some interest from representatives of handset manufacturers who just happened to be wandering the show floor -- but this isn't just any old morphing keyboard, you see. Not only can the board be dynamically reconfigured by backlighting different portions of the keys -- the entire surface of the thing doubles as a touchpad, which you can probably imagine has virtually limitless utility in a mobile device where the space for a true touchpad simply doesn't exist. Pelikon already works with Toshiba on its domestic-market Biblio (http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/25/toshiba-biblio-e-reader-handled-deemed-extremely-small/), but we'd love to see it hit devices around the world -- in fact, we wouldn't really mind if they just released this prototype they're showing as a Bluetooth accessory. diNovo Mini (http://www.engadget.com/tag/diNovoMini/) competitor, anyone?
