Nokia tinkers with morphing phone concept
By: Katherine Noyes

Imagine what you'd get if you crossed Gumby with a smartphone, and you've got some idea of what a new, nanotech handset from Nokia could be like.

The new Morph, which was jointly developed by the Nokia Research Center and the University of Cambridge in England, is a bendable, flexible and stretchable device that can be folded into pocket size and used as a handset, or unfolded and opened up to display more detailed information.

The Morph was unveiled Monday as part of the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition that runs until 12 May at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. Morph is featured in both the exhibition catalog and on MoMA's official Web site, http://www.moma.org/.
