Siemens has developed a prototype phone in the shape of a pen that allows you to enter data directly by writing letters and numbers on virtually any surface.

The prototype PenPhone uses integrated handwriting-recognition technology.

It also offers the standard features of a mobile phone that's based on the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology.

The pen is aimed largely at heavy users of Short Message Service (SMS), who today face the tedious task of keying in messages manually by pressing a button for each character.

The PenPhone is able to recognize whatever letters or numbers you write on any surface.

It translates the handwritten words or numbers directly into an SMS, which appears on the display."

The device is 5.6 inches long with a diameter of about three-quarters of an inch.
