Nokia Reveals Transforming Mobile Phone Concept For The Future

Wed, 27 Feb 2008

Nokia and the University of Cambridge have unveiled a stunning new mobile phone concept that could "reinvent the form and function of mobile devices".

The Finnish company has released a concept video that showcases a nanotechnology-based device, called Morph, which has the ability to bend like an elastic band and even clean itself.

Nokia says Morph is a concept that demonstrates what nanotechnology-based technology might be able to deliver for future mobiles - allowing the user to transform their mobile device into a wide range of radically different shapes, including a credit card shaped multimedia device and a wearable wrist bracelet.

As well as its flexibility, the device also has the ability to clean itself and can even monitor the environment around it through a range of environmental sensors and transparent electronics .

Despite sales of a device such as Morph being decades away, Nokia claims that elements of the design could be integrated into its high-end handsets within the next seven years. The company also said that Morph could eventually use solar energy to power itself.

Professor Mark Welland, head of the Department of Engineering's Nanoscience Group at the University of Cambridge, explained: "Developing the Morph concept with Nokia has provided us with a focus that is both artistically inspirational but, more importantly, sets the technology agenda for our joint nanoscience research that will stimulate our future work together."
