You can grab one for the base price of $375,000US.

TAT augmented ID is an UI concept developed by TAT (The Astonishing Tribe).

TAT is a Swedish company which has previously developed UI for Android. If you look at that analog clock widget with Malmö written on it, it’s because this is where these guys are from.

On the other hand, Polar Rose is a face recognition technology company (BTW, also from Malmö) which exists for more than two years and is constantly being developed. There’s another face recognition company out the (face.com) which has hooked up with its name sibling (Facebook).

All in all, what you see here is quite possible and probably feasible.

Do you know anyone working on something similar?

I’ve been an early adopter of the news item showing Nokia Morph, a concept design for some time in the future.

I dare to say, that majority of these features will be available (perhaps not in a single mobile phone) by 2015.

What do you think?

Nokia unveils a mobile phone that morphs

Something for all the sci-fi mobile geeks out there travelling in the vicinity of the interstellar intersection of mobile and nanotechnology hype vectors…

Nokia Morph

A new concept mobile phone, unveiled by Nokia, connects mobile and nanotechnology with greentech - which surely sit among your favorite 10 buzzwords.

First a couple of pictures to wet your appetite.

Nokia Morph - phone mode

Thanks to blissful world of nanotechnology from which we seem to expect everything we saw in sci-fi movies some years a ago, Nokia Morph will be able to change shape while maintaining (and adapting!) functionality. Here’s how it looks in 

Nokia Moprh - open mode

There’s also a hands-free mode that in the case of Nokia Morph will be called wrist mode - mobile brain goes onto your wrist, handsfree part on your ear.

As usual, without a video with someone actually using, bending and sitting on this mobile this news is particularly interesting for people into horoscopes (as the mock-up shows). ;-) In the meantime, you can drool over this marvel of creative power in a animated video created by Nokia designers.

Although very little has been said about the Morph’s technical capabilities, pictures show how, in theory, the handset’s able to alter its state between a watch-like mode, a credit-card shape and a traditional mobile phone. No dimensions are given, but the Morph appears to be extremely thin no-matter what state it’s in.

Until then, I’m sure everyone will continue to hype about nanotechnology. I know I will… O:-)

Thanks to billcpu @ Twitter for this one.
