Flexible phone:-is he coming?
Nokia presents a phone with a flexible screen. A prototype. Proof that the technology is there really?
Scientists working for a while on this particular technology that should lead to a whole new interface. You press not (only) on the screen or buttons, but you turn and bend and pull on your phone.
Paper Phone
We already have some prototypes pass by. The Paper Phone eg. If the corner of the phone bends you to another menu item. And another corner to fold, you can call your music list.
Remote
And inJapan they even a step further. There may be next year the first flexible remote controls introduced . By turning the dial, you can adjust the volume and bend takes you to another station.

According to CNET.com Nokia is also enthusiastic about the technology. The manufacturer presented during the Nokia World event with a prototype that bend and twist motions can be controlled. Whether such a device in the short term the market is unclear. But manufacturers are doing so. But whether a user requires two hands to operate equipment will prefer a device with only a touch screen?
Roel Vertegaal, the creator of the Paper Phone has all the confidence in the technology. ”Everything is within five years and so feel like this,” he says. In those years, we still expect some improvement success. So researchers are working on flexible OLED screens that can even be stretched and flexible batteries . And that offers opportunities. Perhaps, your phone will soon not only bend but also so they roll up less space. And with OLED screens that you can stretch out, you can easily grow your Smartphone features make it a tablet. That is – besides the new interface – really interesting options. The question seems not whether, but when this technology will storm the market.
