all you need to consider to make a bendable smartphone
« on: February 05, 2013, 06:52:36 AM »
"Flexible glass and flexible screens have been a hot topic for some time, culminating with fanfare at Samsung's demo of its curvy Youm OLED display at  CES.

Companies like Samsung, Nokia, and even Apple have been working on flexible smartphone displays for a years, but for the first time, there's enough real research and development in this area to, perhaps, start getting excited."

Why's she buying that heavy book instead of reading on the device?

the only advantage I can think of for a flexible phone would be greater shock absorbing ability if dropped - but I'm sure the makers will find a way out of that.
