Press Released from NOKIA
New York, US and Espoo, Finland - Morph, a joint nanotechnology concept, developed by Nokia Research Center (NRC) and the University of Cambridge (UK) - was launched today alongside the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition, on view from February 24 to May 12, 2008, at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Morph features in both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA's official website.
Morph is a concept that demonstrates how future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes. It demonstrates the ultimate functionality that nanotechnology might be capable of delivering: flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces. Dr. Bob Iannucci, Chief Technology Officer, Nokia, commented: "Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices; the Morph concept shows what might be possible".
And here are the new concepts development by NOKIA very interesting..!!
Zero Waste Charger Concept
This concept explores ways to reduce the energy that is wasted when chargers are unplugged from a mobile device but left plugged into a live mains socket.
Wears in, Not Out Concept
The concept explores how people could potentially upgrade their devices digitally rather than physically in the future giving people an additional choice on how they use and update their mobile phones.

The concept consists of two parts – a wearable sensor unit which can sense and analyze your environment, health, and local weather conditions and a mobile device that builds on the "three Rs": Reduce, reuse and recycle – using printed electronics, bio and reclaimed materials in the phone's construction. The concept includes use of alternative energy sources. More details can be found at http://www.nokia.com/A4707477
