The animation shows practical applications for several specific types of work that the scientists are developing based on their nanotechnology research, said Tapani Ryhanen, the head of multimedia devices research at Nokia Research Center. The concept video was created at the prodding of New York’s Museum of Modern Art, which opened an exhibit February 24 called”Design and the Elastic Mind,”he said. Currently, the researchers have developed “bits and pieces” of the technologies envisioned in the concept “but we are not yet at the level that we could integrate those things together into a device that we’re showing in this animation,” Ryhanen said. Some features of the device could start appearing in commercial products as soon as seven years from now, Nokia said.

Before anything like this happens I'll be Mr. Old Fart, but dammit, I would love to have something similar to that in the future (preferable a watch instead of a wrist band, I'm a sucker for gadget watches)

okay, i have to complain about the "the surface of morph is superhydrophobic. this makes it extremely dirt repellent" most often the grim people complain about on objects is oil based not water based. that is why we have to use soap to clean these things because the grim itself is "superhydrophobic" and water won't clean it.

Far too good to be possible, at least the first one won't boast all those features.
