This article discusses some research that is being done in conjuction with Microsoft to explore possible new options for mobile device input.
"Our goal is to create a new single-handed interaction system for both smartphone and PDA devices. In addition to providing support for varied input hardware, our designs are also informed by Scalable User Interface (ScUI) techniques. This design philosophy allows the system to adapt to different screen resolutions, and supports either portrait or landscape device rotation."
There are also some pictures of the programs they have developed to use this new system. It is quite a lengthy article, but if you are interested in reading up on the concept, you can access it by clicking the link below.
