Nokia Unveils Shape Changing Nano-phone Concept
An anonymous reader writes "Morph, a joint nanotechnology concept developed by Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge, has gone on display as part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art in New York. The concept demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform the gadget into radically different shapes. Nokia said that elements of Morph might be integrated into handheld devices within seven years, though initially only at the high end."
In unrelated news, the inventor of Silly Putty sued Nokia for violating it's patent "re-transmission of news and other media via the transfer of newsprint by chemically-induced process."

I've always wanted to have a real-life shoe phone. I can just see the next staff meeting -

"Kai, I think your phone is ringing."

"Oh, sorry. I'll get it."

From Motorola, we have the MOTOHOLE, which is a miniscule phone that can be inserted up the rectum of the next weird-ass gadget lover. Comes standard with Bluetooth 2.2 (since most people using Bluetooth talk out of their ass anyway) and auto-answer with butt clenching.
P.S. Don't ask about Caller ID or Voicemail. It's a prototype.
I assume the Slashdot editors are just doing their part to remain vigilant against a resurgence of sidetalking.
It's a serious matter and everyone must do their part!
my concept of "solid air". This is a new idea that will allow us to build houses and other building from room temperature solidified air. These houses will be eco-friendly and cheap.
I expect the technology required to create "solid air" will be invented by someone, somewhere, by 2016, or perhaps later.
I've had a stretchable hand-held all my life. I'm sure it provides more enjoyment than a cell phone ever will. Now if I could just figure out how to set it on "vibrate"...
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .

/.: nothing appropriate.
The idea of having flexible components constructed with nano-technology right next to my ear isn't exactly...good.
Pay no attention to the tentacle extending itself into your ear canal in order to take over your brain, it's just there to improve reception.
For example, you can see that the person wearing it is a complete tool without having to wait for them to open their mouth and say something idiotic. These are really time-saving gadgets when you think about it.
No, the tool was the guy who loudly said "Can't talk right now, I'm in the middle of a movie".
Empty your litre of [generic soft drink] over him. "Sorry dude, you were all glowy and stuff...thought you were on fire..."

You know those big red Xs that you sometimes see on trees when you walk through the woods? Those Xs tell the lumberjack that the trees bearing them need to be culled.
