Curved Smartphone Displays

In the coming days of the near future we come to an apex of what a smart phone is and can be. To most people a smart phone can be categorized as a device that is rectangular the front composing mostly of a screen on the front that is touch sensitive. There are slight variations of this design to prevent accidental patent infringement, but that's pretty much it. There are new smart phones coming to the market that are curved displays and apple even filed a patent for a screen that was flexible. Apple however is notorious for filing patents and never using the technology in their devices but the fact that it exists and can be used is good enough for me. I am excited to see what the future holds for the evolution of smart phones because we've seen the google glass (smart glasses), and samsungs new smart watch. Granted these devices are obviously in their infancy but the concept and the fact that they exist at all is a step in the right direction.

  1. Ya I heard about that flexible LED screen that apple patented. I'm hoping someone ends up using something like that. These phones are far to fragile for my liking and slapping a 10 pound case twice the size of the phone on it just seems counter intuitive. I am really anxious to check out the new samsung watch phone. I know its a novelty item but how awesome is that!?
