Thanks for the post. With all the doom and gloom its easy to forget that the world goes on and things are getting done. Humm I need to change some of my reading.

Interesting but I'm not convinced. I like the feel of something solid in my hand.

Just a few dumb engineers questions:

 

Where will the battery be? Cell-phone require lots of power no matter the screen type.

Li-Po batteries would be able to actually be in the plastic itself but so far I have not heard of a practical cost application...

Cell phone require big memory size. Big memory size require a lot of IO pins on the ICs. ICs are not flexible. Which part of the device would not be flexible?

What is the practical advantage of flipping a page by bending compared with flipping a page on a IPhone?

Does a flexible structure offer any advantage to the consumer?

 

I think flexible technology has a nice future but not in portable applications the bend/unbend is way too stressfull for the poor solders.

I'll be less scientific.  Holy shit that looks like garbage.  I would use that flexible circuitry for one purpose,and it rhymes with "piping my gas". 

 

I think apple is safe.
