Prototype: The PaperPhone has a flexible electronic display, is extremely lightweight, made out of a thin-film, and can do everything a smartphone currently does
It can store books, play music, send text messages - and, of course, make phone calls.
Most impressively, the PaperPhone uses no power when nobody is interacting with it.
'This computer looks, feels and operates like a small sheet of interactive paper, meaning that when users are reading they don't feel like they are holding a sheet of glass or metal.
'You interact with it by bending it into a cell phone, flipping the corner to turn pages, or writing on it with a pen.'
Arm-band: The device uses no power when nobody is interacting with it
Its display consists of a 9.5cm diagonal, thin-film flexible E Ink display.
The flexible form of the display makes it much more portable that any current mobile computer - it will shape with your pocket.
