诺基亚相信,未来手机将会向可延展、可弯曲方向发展,它们能够像护腕一样使用、像键盘一样敲击、甚至像水一样变换不同形状。
诺基亚公司CTO鲍勃.爱兰崔博士说“公司研发中心正在寻找一种彻底改变目前手机样式及功能的方案,上述的变形概念说明:任何情况都是有可能的”。Morph概念手机是由诺基亚研发中心与英国剑桥大学联合研发的,并于2月24日至3月12日在纽约MOMA博物馆举办的‘设计&创意’展会上首次公开。
诺基亚剑桥全国咨询实验室负责人泰帕尼.芮汗内博士评价说:“我们希望借助艺术与科技的结合,能够将纳米技术的优势展示给更多人。现在已经完成的只是最基本的工作,接下来我们还会继续探索一条更安全有效使用、开发新型材料的方案”。
Morph手机仅仅是示意了未来手机如何延展与弯曲,让用户在很短时间内改变手机形状。此外,还展示了纳米技术的几项突出性能:可弯曲、导电以及自洁性的表面。

Professor Mark Welland, Head of the Department of Engineering's
Nanoscience Group at the University of Cambridge and University
Director of Nokia-Cambridge collaboration added: "Developing the
Morph concept with Nokia has provided us with a focus that is both
artistically inspirational but, more importantly, sets the
technology agenda for our joint nanoscience research that will
stimulate our future work together."
The partnership between Nokia and the University of Cambridge was
announced in March, 2007 - an agreement to work together on an
extensive and long term programme of joint research projects. NRC
has established a research facility at the University's West
Cambridge site and collaborates with several departments -
initially the Nanoscience Center and Electrical Division of the
Engineering Department - on projects that, to begin with, are
centered on nanotechnology.
Elements of Morph might be available to integrate into handheld devices within 7 years, though initially only at the high-end. However, nanotechnology may one day lead to low cost manufacturing solutions, and offers the possibility of integrating complex functionality at a low price.
