HTC has been granted a patent that it applied for in December of 2008. The patent covers a book-like user interface for smartphones, tablets, and electronic devices in general. The patent application was made public in 2009, which is when we first covered this interesting idea coming out of HTC. The book-like UI would be true to its description and would show a different app, widget, or Web page on each virtual page. It wouldn't differentiate between these categories of software like current mobile OSes do, thus creating a uniform UI. This is probably the most important idea in this patent.
