In the category of, 'AWESOME,' we have the new NEC Tag Phone Concept. The next generation Tag Phone is available in black, white, and orange. More interesting, the future phone is made of shape-memorizing materials.
Implications - The phone is made from material that is soft and flexible, yet is still able to hold shape. The shape-memorizing material also has multiple pressure sensors that allow the phone's shape to be manipulated. So if you wanted to wrap it around your wrist or a belt, the NEC Tag's long shape will be more than happy to oblige.
Phones are the last thing that anyone would associate the word "flexible" with. The NEC Tag Concept Phone is here to change all that and may influence a whole new generation of unique mobile designs.
