Nokia’s mobile phone of tomorrow
Nokia, in collaboration with Cambridge University, has recently unveiled something not far removed from sci-fi films such as the Matrix or Ultraviolet.Known as Morph and currently only a theoretical concept, not much is known about the device’s technical capabilities but the designs do show how the handset is able to “morph” its shape and size according to function: ranging from a wrist watch, a tablet and a traditional mobile phone.
This is made possible with the use of nanotechnology, which also enables the device to be self-cleaning, transparent and even able to monitor its surrounding environment whilst retaining its flexible shape. The handset also has a detachable earpiece that can be used as a Bluetooth headset and both parts use solar
power to charge up.

This is really exciting stuff. iPhone anyone?
Unfortunately, Nokia has stated that they won’t be releasing this any time soon as it is still in early development but the technology behind the Morph may be readily available in their high-end mobile devices in about seven years time.
Check out Wired’s “7 Jobs That Nokia’s Phone of the Future Will be Good For” for a lighthearted list of things you can do with Nokia’s Morph.
