Nokia Morph Concept (long)

Anyone remember the Morph concept? link ▶ this video Blew me away back then, but forgot the name. This archive helped to recover the bits in my head. Thank you!

This BMW “study” reminds me of the equally laughable Nokia Morph concept from 2008: ▶ this video link Based on this I would say that such “studies” are the sign of a company soon going bust.

Anyone remember the Ubuntu Edge? [0] Perhaps with todays announcement, a bit into the future we will see a new class of phone that unfolds into a tablet and even docks to a screen with accompanying magic keyboard and trackpad. I know, it's a real shame that I am probably dreaming. But Apple will probably never release a similar phone as it'll cannibalise one of the other products. Maybe someone can prod shuttleworth again and see if the time for this idea can be realised? I'm sure soon it will be. I also hope that this trend of arm minimization can continue so an idea like morph [1] will one day be come also. [0] - link [1] - ▶ this video

These Samsung's and Xiaomi's foldable phones don't excite me as much as Nokia Morph. On 2008-02-25, Nokia showed a concept phone Nokia Morph [1]. I have just watched the video about it [2] again and I am still as excited about it as I was 11 years ago. > The phone's theoretical feature list would include the ability to bend into numerous shapes, so it can be worn around the wrist or held up to the face; transparent electronics, which would allow the device to be see-through yet functional; self-cleaning surfaces that can absorb solar energy to recharge the phone's battery; and a wide range of fully integrated sensors. [...] The manufacturer believed that some of the device's imagined features could appear in high-end devices by 2015. So, I am waiting for something like Nokia Morph but also with a screen that can take the form of a standard physical keyboard and give me the same tactile feel. [1] link [2] ▶ this video

Nokia did it too with the Nokia Morph ▶ this video Doesn't seem they are doing too well now either? Nokia Windows Morph phone 7 anyone?

Yeah, and some years ago I saw a concept video even more awesome: The Nokia Morph ▶ this video And it is not a hoax: link It is expected to hit markets on 2015.
