    Technology has improved greatly over these last few years. If they bring something like this out, other phone companies will most likely copy Nokia's design, and thats when you can say goodbye to your old rectangular block

    ... if you have one that is.

    I'm thinking of getting into studying nanotech since it's almost definitely gonna be the future of technology. Interesting concepts, the wrist band or whatever that is would be a little goofy though

    All I can say is: Not in our lifetime.

    This is just a concept that is based on technology that we don't have; Its not even plausible that it ever would ever work for that reason.

    There is about one popular use of nano-technology that I know of, which is using Ti2 particles to enhance certain compound metals.

    Don't fall for the illusion that nano-technology is actually used in any of the todays market products. There have been a few prototypes utilizing certain aspects of nano technology, which cost millions of euros to manufacture in a time wasting complicated process, that can't even guarantee a working product and isn't reproducible.
    You won't in any way see nano-technology in any item you can buy for the next 100 years, leaving out compound materials, that have just slightly enhanced attributes to conventional ones.

    Its for all other uses to complicated and no one has even an idea how to make something like it cost effective and those uses are dreamed up, before there is even a technology that would make it plausible that it would work in that way. With no idea how to ever make them work, it's just speculation, a marketing trick and wasting time on it is a little childish, if you know that it will never make it into reality the way they show it.

    You seem so sure about this. May I ask how you know? Sounds like your just speculating to me. Then again maybe I'm wrong and your one of the worlds leading scientists (or whoever it is that deal with this crap).

    Glad to see we're getting somewhere with this kind of technology.

    Hmm, my opinion is based on the chapter nano-technology in my material-science script from the University course as well as on the lecture and oh, I also passed the exam already, so I guess that makes me one of the worlds leading scientists in comparison to some other people who have no idea.
    (I liked that chapter best, nearly nothing to learn in it, no kidding...)

    That thing is only little more realistic than flying cars, anti gravity devices and interstellar space and time travel. Might all be around in the future; most likely though, not.

    Nanobots! Attack the nonbeliever! D:<

    I just saw the movie and I was like "Holy shit, how's it bending like that?" I seriously doubt us making this in the next 3 decades unless technology goes through another growth spurt.

    Wow now that is nice. Sadly Verizon doesn't get Nokia phones and most Nokia phones don't have plans. But this is a very nice looking phone.

    Not in our life time? Do you know how far we went in the past 30 years? And this Is very possible in the near future. Just because you passed an exam, read a chapter about it in a book and got a lecture doesn't mean you know anything.

    This kind of advancement should be made in 2010, not now.

    There will be no future. The evil galactic overlord Xenu is going to come down and **** us all and meanwhile Tom Cruise and his 5million dollar hide out will be the last things on earth. o_O

    Well, the thing is, that people have no idea what nano-technology is or how it works...
    Even if it works out, the value of doing case studies that totally rely on it to be in a special way is a waste and nothing but fictional. Most of that crap they thought up for future gaming devices and similar never made it into reality or was proved pointless by the try to do so.

    It's nothing but a way to get the brand name into the news...
    People would believe all the crap they get dished out.

    I'm only posting links, you are the one trying to be the big 'know it all' with your closed mind mentality and getting all angry in the process.

    You can't tell me or anyone else what is going to happen in the future or how technology will change and shape the way we live, so stop pretending that you can.
