Smartphone made of paper.......!
 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-13308452

I don't know what to make of this. I can't even comprehend a Smartphone made from electronic paper. I mean, where would the battery go for a start?

Hmm... I don't like this kind of concept. Maybe because. In my eyes. This is hard to fix when it broke or when it get wet or something like that.

How can the screen differentiate when you fold it and when you touch it. Example. When you fold it unintentionally. Will there be a click respond? If so. It would be sucks.

Lets hear from the other what they have to say. :)

Thats cool, I remember a few years back they had paper being used as a storage medium. Iirc it was about 20GB.. I will try find the link.

Paper HDD
OT: what is an RVD?? Never heard of it!

If they produce the paper phone, will we get a paper drive burner, too? :)

Don't worry about battery on this on, there are battery's that are made the same way (can be folded), i would just like a touch function, not the bend function, but i must say this is a VERY cool concept, which has been showed in various configs through the years


But on the battery, this screen only uses power when it needs to change pixels/image, which means when it has drawn the "desktop" or "media interface" then it uses NO POWER, where our screens uses power when they are on, the E-INK screen is very very cool, only thing missing is a kind of lighting system when you are in a dark room.
The I-INK screen require light to be viewed, it is just like paper
