Motorola MOTOSPLIT may have dynamic dual-touchscreen QWERTY, old school processor

Motorola's odd little Android-powered MOTOSPLIT may be a lot weirder than we originally thought. According to Android Community, the sliding split keyboard will have touchscreen keys that can dynamically change their legends -- similar to a feature that's already available on the Samsung Alias 2:

The keyboard keys are inset and probably have no tactile feedback, however, they should be quite easy to use. It looks like the cutouts are pretty finger-friendly, as they contour to the shape of a standard finger. Under those cutouts is a low-resolution monochrome touch screen, one for each side of the keyboard. This is where the finger presses. The contact area is small, but the plastic grid that surrounds it contours to the fingers. The label and function of each key can be changed to suit certain layouts and applications.

The keyboard has multiple orientations. The keyboard can be pulled from side to side for typing on a surface. A small kickstand angles the phone when typing in this manner. The keyboard can also be pulled to the left for a standard landscape layout. There is also a dial-pad layout.

The source also revealed that the MOTOSPLIT will not run on the speedy snapdragon processor as originally presumed. Instead, it will run on the Qualcomm MSM7201A, the same weak 528MHz core found on the BACKFLIP.

The specifications are slightly different than previously posted. The MOTOSPLIT uses the same processor as the BACKFLIP. Every other spec is almost the same as the BACKFLIP.

Needless to say, this could make the MOTOSPLIT obsolete before it is even released -- a huge mistake we can only hope is nothing more than a rumor.
