PaperPhone is the world's first nextgen, thin film smartphone and interactive paper computer. It is based on a 3.7" flexible electrophoretic (E Ink) display that does not consume electricity when it is not refreshed. Thinfilm sensors allow the phone to respond to bending of the screen to navigate pages in ebooks, play or pause mp3s, make phone calls, or navigate apps. A flexible wacom tablet allows users to draw on the screen with a pen as if it were a sheet of paper.

  • For those pessimistic minded, we will laugh at you back. Wait and see..

  • ok basically what they should do is make it a feature instead of making a necessity

    and whoose gonna bend everytime?

  • this idea could go somewhere. just not there.

  • what kind of braindamaged person would spend a dime on this piece of crap?

  • That could be a whole new dimension of interaction.

  • I would love this is if the display were larger and I could use it as regular notes, such as in a binder, for school and what not.

  • The technology is interesting, obviously, but it's far too slow of an input system to be used for everything. For instance moving around a menu by bending the corners every time is just stupid.

    I suppose you could merge this technology with the touch screen one, and that would make it pretty awesome.

  • But the question everyone is asking themselves is: will it blend?

  • Maybe if this came out before touchscreens it would be better
