"Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices," Bob Iannucci, chief technology officer for Nokia, said in a statement. "The Morph concept shows what might be possible." Even though Morph is still in early development, Nokia believes that certain elements of the device could be used in high-end Nokia devices within the next seven years. And as the technology matures, nanotechnology could eventually be incorporated into Nokia's entire line of products to help lower manufacturing costs.
Nokia has stated that they hope to take portions of the Morph and apply it to their high-end mobile devices. They expect the technology behind the Morph to be in the hands of consumers within the next seven years. Over time this technology will get cheaper, and in the long run this could be the foundation of the cell phone of the future. This new concept not only change the way of using mobile phone. It also help to reduce the manufacturing cost.
Nokia believes that certain elements of the device could be used in high-end Nokia devices within the next seven years. This clue us the price of this Morph! Should be expensive. So, should I change my mobile phone? Maybe yes, maybe no. Let’s see how the products go to the market.
