Nokia's flexible phone concept is crazy

Nokia is showing off a supremely crazy phone concept called HumanForm. Shaped like a teardrop, this is a touch-activated and completely flexible phone that looks like it's straight out of a sci-fi movie.

I'm not fully on board with the tear-drop shape — how do you watch videos on this thing that are formatted for TV? — but you can't say it's not interesting. Of course, it's a futuristic concept based on ideas, not reality. I mean, it's made using "nanotechnology," which is a convenient catch-all for everything that has yet to be invented. But still! It's cool that Nokia is thinking this far in advance.
