An extended review on the Samsung Galaxy Note. The new tablet phone with a huge 3.5 inch Super AMOLED display. After using the phone for about a month this video shows all the pros and cons of this unusual new smartphone. Below the video is a full list of the specifications and links that are mentioned in the video. (...) read more
Some time ago we talked about the introduction of a new technology by 3M that allowed flexible touchscreens and we stated that it was just a matter of time before the technology would be put to use. Looks like we’re there! Last week a few manufacturers presented prototypes of devices with this technology put to use. Nokia introduced the Nokia Kinetic Device (video below) that uses bending of the device as a form of input to, for example, ‘pinch to zoom’ (or in this case ‘bend to zoom’). And some (...) read more
Not too long ago we reported on flexible transparent touch screens developed by 3M. But 3M is not the only company active in this game. Samsung is also working on prototypes of flexible AMOLED displays that are apparently already in a far phase of development.Now, development of a new technology is one thing. It gets really interesting when people start thinking of how they can apply this new technology in actually products. 3M showed us a video of potential uses and now Heyon You also came up with (...) read more

Another cool concept video. 3M, the company famous for introducing the world to post-it notes and sandpaper, has created a technology for flexible transparent multi-touch screens. It’s not hard to think of applications for this technology and with this (mock-up) video 3M shows us a few. Now it’s up to the hardware designers to actually start using the flexible touch screens. “[3M is] already producing these touch sensors, and the first place you'll see them is in mobile phones later this year (...) read more
As we just reported on a future prediction from an artist in 1900 it’s now time for a future prediction of today. Corning, the company behind the popular upcoming Gorilla Glass for touchscreens, made this video in which they show off their future predictions for touchscreens. It makes for a mind-boggling display of hidden interactive screens in nearly all surfaces. A very realistic scenario in our vision, although actual touch interaction will probably become more redundant with highly intelligent (...) read more
