Mobile Phone Gets All Bendy
It is a soft mobile phone concept. The phone is encased in a flexible plastic housing. A soft polymer insert is located between the microchip module and the casing. You can drop it, bend it, sit on it, toss it around, and give it to Naomi Campbell to throw at her assistant without detriment.
A flexible display (a 2,75-in. diagonal, a 433 × 266 pixels) and the keys are located on the surface. The display itself looks like paper, but the ink incorporated in it can change its position when affected by electric signals. This process called “electrowetting” is so quick that you can even display video. And it’s not a fairytale technology either. The display was developed by Robert Hayes and Johan Feenstra. They better patent that ASAP.

Interesting design…I’m guessing we won’t see this technology for another 10yrs though…too expensive for consumer electronics now
Quisiera saber si puedo ser la persona que pruebe este nuevo telefono, ya que me especializo en romper celulares. Espero vuestra respuesta. Muchas gracias
pas ergonomique, pas beau, pas faisable, pas un concept… tout sauf du design… sorry…
the more i see it the more i think that it’s stupid…
At last, a phone I can use without worrying about it breaking if I abuse it.
When will this be able to purchase?
