Nokia Unveils OLED Phone You Control By Bending

[wraggster]

Nokia just unveiled an OLED smartphone that is controlled by flexing the device with both hands (http://inhabitat.com/nokia-unveils-oled-phone-you-control-by-bending/). By bending corners and pushing the sides inward and outward, the user can scroll, zoom, and select. 'Researchers would not discuss exactly how the processor behind the twisty screen functioned, but they did say that it would be compatible with most current operating systems.'"Reader jones_supa ([email protected]) adds a link to The Inquirer (with video), which points out that the twist-based (rather than poke-based) interface means "you can do many basic functions such as scrolling, zooming and answering calls even while wearing mittens (http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2120280/nokia-kinetic-concept-smartphone-video-demo)."
