Nokia’s new Morph concept phone would use nanotechnology to give it a flexible body with a transparent display that could be re-shaped depending on the user’s needs, a far cry from today’s solid and chunky devices. Even the electronics inside it would be transparent and flexible, so the whole phone may be twisted and stretched into bracelet shapes or tablet form, and nanotech cleverness means it would even clean itself. Developed in cooperation with Cambridge University, this glimpse of a distant future is now on display at the MoMA in New York.
This would be extremely cool.

I’m guessing John will say “I’m laughing my ass off!”
This is just silly
#1 at the self-cleaning part.
FWIW, a phone like this will suffer the same fate as a plastic ruler at the hands of bored teens.
The human implant bluetooth phone was cool.
Excuse me as I visit the b-room, I’m receiving a fax…
I’ll believe this is possible when I see it. IMVHO, not before 2020. But it sure is a lovely dream.
It’s just a telephone.
I think it pretty much depends on how fast OLED technology advances.
Oooh – in the future you’ll be able to sit at a cafe and make phone calls.
And maybe you could browse the internet and listen to music too. No – that’s impossible.
My car gets 40 rods to the hogs head and that’s the way I likes it!!
This isn’t even vaporware. It’s the vapors of vaporware. It’s more like sci-fi then anything else. Why is it getting any press?
What I would like to have for my future was a phone that wouldn’t charge me…that would be an improvement…
And if you really need a concept, what about a wearable phone disguised as a button or other accessory (earring…) that could do voice recognition and be totally speech controlled and also would recharge on kinetic power from my body movement…
Of course, that will never happen because the phone would disappear from sight and no brand would be accepting that. Also people would loose another status/fashion statement.
I suppose that this sort of complete and utter bullshit is meant to impress gullible and idiotic stockholders.
these are the DREAMS of the dreamers.
the First one will implement WHAT is current TECH, If you didnt see that, YOU MISSED IT.
The second is abit of a Dream. MOST of it, like FOLDING in 3 sections ISNT viable yet.
oooohhhh strechable???can i play lady of spain on it like an accordian??? 😀
When I was a kid, flying cars were the “glimpse of a distant future.”
Anyone else here hate those bluetooth headsets as much as I do?
Wearing one gives the signal that anyone in the world with a phone is more important that you are.
i noticed that the Morph concept takes a lot from the technologies that are already present in nature (self-cleaning, etc.)
when it will release? and what is the cost of it? from where i’ll gate it?
