The new mobile device uses nanotechnology is called the Morph, and it is a mobile phone which is stretchable and flexible, allowing it to act almost like a rubber band.

The Morph was revealed at the Design and Elastic Mind exhibition at the Musuem of Modern Art in New York City.

The mobile device uses nanotechnology.

The idea behind the Morph is that it will allow you to do anything with your cell phone. If you want to wear it like a bracelet, you can do that. It gives a great deal of freedom to users.

Nokia’s cheif technology officer Bob Iannucci stated “Nokia Research Center is looking at ways to reinvent the form and function of mobile devices. The Morph concept shows what might be possible.”

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.

    Wow, a stretchy phone, i wonder if you can shoot it at people. Honestly, those people are defiling the use of future technology. When other human beings can use other stuff to make their lives good not just luxurious. Yeah, thats what the world really needs right now; another high tech cell phone.
