Cell Phone with a Foldable Screen Coming Mid-2008
The device, when closed, is no bigger than a slightly bulky candy bar cell phone (roughly 4.5 x 2.2 x .82 inches), but it opens up to reveal a 5 inch high resolution black and white display for reading E-books, E-mail, RSS feeds, and making phone calls. In comparison, the iPhone "only" has a 3.5 inch screen. The Polymer phone comes packed with a 3G HSDPA data connection for placing voice calls and pulling in high-speed data, and works with Microsoft's ActiveSync for corporate Exchange servers for E-Mail and contacts, in addition to the standard IMAP and POP for pulling in Gmail, Yahoo Mail, etc.
The one thing we can't figure out is how you place calls on this thing if a person isn't in your contacts. Without a touch screen and no keypad in sight, we're thinking that you're gonna have to resort to a pen and the palm of your hand to get that cute girl at the bar's number.
