Mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has claimed that mobile phones of the future will not necessarily be as rigid as they are today.
The company have been displaying their prototype idea at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York as part of an exhibition entitled Design and the Elastic Mind. The prototype is intended to show people how mobile phones will be more flexible in the future, allowing their user to mould the device to any shape that they desire.
However, this idea is still in the very early stages of development and could still be around seven years away. Even then, it will still only be used in high-end models of mobile phones, therefore meaning that cheap mobile phone deals on theses flexible phones will be a long time coming. However, if this bendable phone idea becomes a popular one, then hopefully cheaper deals will eventually begin to appear as the demand will increase.
People at Nokia say they are always trying to come up with new ways of re-inventing the mobile phone form.
The flexible concept is based on nanotechnology; this is a branch of science that looks at controlling matter on an atomic and molecular basis. Nanotechnology is also behind such designs as self-cleaning surfaces.
For this project, Nokia are working on it with the University of Cambridge. The University say that working alongside Nokia on this new mobile phone concept will help them inspirationally but more importantly with their combined nanoscience research, which will hopefully fuel future work for them as a team.
