Nokia Morph concept to include nano-tech?

For the past lets say 5 years, different  phone manufacturers have tried to catch our attention with various nice looking, high performing and inovative phones. But looking at this Nokia concept all of the previous releases from Nokia seem to be come from the stone age. The concept, called Morph, would use nanotechnology to reshape itself, display information, and accept input in any form. However, we must take into consideration the sad fact that this tech is years and years away and it will probably never happen in our lifetime.

It is worthwile taking into cosideration the main collaborators to this project. The Nanoscience Centre and Centre for Advance Photonics and Electronics both parts of the University of Cambridge.

Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:

  • Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
  • Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
  • Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
  • Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
  • Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices. (http://www.nokia.com/about-nokia/research/demos/the-morph-concept)
