Can you imagine the kind of phone you will be using 5 years from now? How about 15 years from now? Does a folding screen sound like a feature you might like?
Some interesting new concept phones made an appearance this week at CEATEC, the Japanese equivalent of the Consumer Electronics Show. The “Origami” like cell phone may be where our future cell phone are heading.
Personally, I cannot imagine anyone besides those people that are really interested in having the new “it” electronic because it certainly looks difficult to manuver. I do understand, however, that phones with flashy, attention grabbing features are typically easy to sell. I’m sure the average Joe didn’t expect to be using a cell phone with only one physical button on the device.
Another phone that was featured in this article was a “Chamelephone,” a phone that camaflauges itself with the color and texture of the surface it is sitting on. I know what it feels like to misplace my phone (and keys for that matter) and I would strongly dislike a phone that hid from me. I cannot imagine a phone that blends in with the surface it is on as being a selling feature for the device.
