Soon, you may be able to wear your mobile phone around your neck or your wrist...
How? Currently on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City is "Morph", touted as a 'bendable', 'stretchable' nanotechnology concept phone developed in conjunction by the Nokia
Research Center and UK's Cambridge University.
"Morph" is being billed as the device of the future, through which researchers at Nokia and the Cambridge varsity hope to demonstrate to the world at large how futuristic devices will be bendable into a myriad different shapes. So much so that users will be able to 'morph' their devices of the future into any shape their heart desires; hence the name "Morph".
"Morph" is also intended to showcase the power of nanotechnology upon which the device is based; Nokia claims nanotech is capable of delivering flexible- and transparent- electronics, as well as miscellaneous high-tech gadgetry of the future.
Elaborating on the concept phone, Bob Iannucci, chief technology officer for Nokia, said that the Nokia Research Center is constantly looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices, and that "Morph" shows the immense possibilities.
Adding to it, Professor Mark Welland, head (Nanoscience Group - Department of Engineering) of Cambridge University, said that developing the "Morph" concept alongside of Nokia provided them with a focus both artistically inspirational and significantly one which sets the technology agenda for their joint nanoscience research.
Incidentally, work on the "Morph" began in March last year but it is still in the early stages of development. However, Nokia believes that certain elements of "Morph" can be put to definite use in their high-end devices in the coming seven years or so. Nokia also aims to incorporate nanotech into all of its future devices.

Hi, as understood by me, this is a concept phone. this means that it is not yet in production. So there is no price tag to it. Its in Research stage and work on it it still on.

Its a step forward for nokia's always boring mobiles which are bar shaped, But i am sure Apple will come out with a better and more realistic product before this gets a launch commercially

I like Apple and all, but you do realize that there are much better products out there than most of what Apple has? Too bad a lot of people just use ads instead of their own research...
