The thing looks amazing, you guys should check it out. The video on the site explains the whole concept of the phone.

What in the blue heavens.... too bad I can't see the video right now.

If your going to go into hypothetical futures like that then why not just have it directly in her brain?

I bet its going to be a womans phone like LG chocolate.

I'm a woman and I can't stand that phone.

I'm not a big cell phone fan - I just use a TracFone cause 60 minutes will last me a month or so - but that thing looks epic. I neeeeeeed.

I think the three words to remember were in the beginning of the video:

Possibilities

Might

Future

It's a wonderful thought - I'll think more on it later as I fly my rocketcar home from the spaceport...

And pay the space-tolls? Yeah, you go ahead and do that. I'm going to stick with my terra-vehicle, tyvm.

I'll walk to reduce my carbon/photon footprint.

im getting one.

I for one am absolutely shocked to see so many negative reactions here! :shock:

How can you people not be excited about this?!

Because it's an obviously over-assuming pie-in-the-sky pipe dream? How can the "phone" have a dozen different surfaces? Every time they zoom in, it has a different surface...it's can't do all of those things at the same time - it is a nice "what-if", but it's about as realistic as the Disney Tomorrowland...

Well, I was under the impression that it was designed to be able to morph between types - so, like if its not being used, it goes to "grass" charging mode - you touch it or w/e and it goes to last-used mode, or something like that.

Yes, its a concept. Yes, its definitely a pipe dream, although it certainly could be possible.

A bulky laptop-sized one would be much cooler - fold it into a small, thick box when your done with it, stretch it out into various shapes and sizes as needed.

One thing that it needs to have, but I saw no mention of it, is a way for it to repair itself - what if you manage to crack it, or file a little off one edge? Can it re-create a few molecules to replace the lost ones, could you simply stick on some new material which would get incorporated(like clay), or even simply just become that much smaller?

I only watched about a minute of it before realizing it was going to be all concepts and "what ifs" based on technology that will take a few decades to be developed or cheap enough for consumers.


Actually I stopped when the thing morphed into an ear piece.

It's a nice idea, great for science fiction and it's nice to be making these guesses at what's to come. I sincerly doubt we'll see "morph" do what this concept video talks about.

And it's not negativity, it's skepticism. Yeah, it would be awesome to have a malleable computer gadget. Considering the level of technology availible now, and the limits of silicon, this kinda stuff is still a decade or two away (at least).

Oh, and the paper thin, flexable screens are possible... I remember seeing something like it once somewhere, don't know what ever happened to that bit of R&D.

They are available now... but a bit expensive.
