5. A more interactive mobile phone




Nokia human form nanotechnology new look in mobile phones. Tell me your ideas or views on this piece of technology.....

Phone Features
· A flexible, transparent sheet of plastic type material that lights up when turned on, and displays features required.  
· It is more than just an iPhone where instead of pressing buttons you just bend, shake, or physically manipulate it instead.
Nokia has brought the product under the name of "Nokia kinetic display." The screen can be bent or twisted at the middle or edges.  Read more at http://global.christianpost.com/news/nokia-humanform-is-unlike-the-n9-concept-smartphone-bends-and-twists-video-61488/#LlMqDihiUmqlMrdv.99 (retrieved October 4, 2012). 


Yet to reach the market, its stance in the context of the current world economic and business drivers is also yet to be established or decided.

Its impact amongst its competitors sees Nokia leading with this original design in flexible display, and technology in mobile phone-ware, "The project is a key step towards bringing significant user experience benefits to the market, enabled by nanotechnology," the statement continues. "Nokia HumanForm is a visionary solution for a dynamically flexible device for uses beyond touch screen and voice communication where technology is invisible and intuition takes over. Natural interactions are enabled with a kinetic user interface" (retrieved October 4, 2012 from http://global.christianpost.com/news/nokia-humanform-is-unlike-the-n9-concept-smartphone-bends-and-twists-video-61488/).

What benefits do you see that this tool has to offer? Its flexibility allows it to fit in your back pocket, or awkward places and mould to the shape of your body, or even the ability of answering your phone while wearing boxing gloves at the gym.  But what are some other benefits? Is it merely another toy? Is it a life changing necessity to own one of these? Will the existing culture of mobile phone users rush out and buy one?
