After watching this, and reading that Nokia won a design award back in 2005 for the Nokia 888, it highlights something that in my opinion, and others I am sure, is the future of how we compute.
Flexible LCDs... like in Red Planet. But Nokia has taken it and incorporated it into a mobile phone with the Nokia 888 (concept). Liquid batteries, inked circuitry, and some other stuff enables such a design.
Is this not only the next revolution, but one of the biggest ones ever?

I just talked to a friend - he says he'll have the unlock ability on Tuesday.
Just waiting for the Super SIM™.
[Edit: Love the 888 concept phone.]

You are hijacking my threads now? Where are the mods?

Please don't bring this unlocking business up in unrelated threads. You're just baiting Freudling now.

Has Nokia actually taken it and incorporated it into a mobile phone? Looks like a CG mock to me.

Of course the Nokia one is fake. It's just a concept phone. We aren't anywhere near being able to do something like that. Where would it get power, for one thing?

Apparently Tamer Nakisci is the designer, and as I posted, it uses liquid battery technology (i.e. Power Management DesignLine | Liquid battery power) for power and inked circuit boards (i.e. http://www.engadget.com/entry/6214434887711755/). It is a concept phone, yes, but since the other links posted clearly show how bendable, paper thin LCDs exist, as well as the other tech required being in R&D, I would bet this phone is in the research and development stages. It would use a multi-touch screen and voice recognition as input, of course.

It reminds me of those bracelets you slap on your wrist we got as prizes as kids.
Hey, I want a bendy bracelet iPhone too!

I think it is cool. I remember the screen isn't the only thing that has to be flexible, every part in that sucker has to be.
