Interesting. So could this be iPhone OS with additional "Mac" features or Mac OS X with features taken from the iPhone OS?
*sigh* Read about apple licensing sony's flexible screen tech!

We can also reveal that Apple has been exploring the use of flexible OLED display technology for both a screen and a keyboard.
I'm holding out for the iPhone Shuffle. Shake to call a random phone number.

Don't give up on the "ipod stick" idea yet.

This new tech (which is 2 years old now by the way) will make flexible displays cheap and durable. Imagine the possibilities if Jon Ive and Steve Jobs got a hold of this tech.
Give me an iPod Touch with at least 64GB or larger and I'll be set for life.
It'll be interesting to see what those extra 8GB modules will be used for - whether its expanding production of the 8GB model (price drop?) or simply adding more 8GB modules to expand storage (by simplifying the design, reducing chips and thus leave more room on the board for more storage).
The big let down I find with Apple is the lack of expandability via a mini-SD slot or something.
While it may be the same concept, I doubt anyone took the idea directly from that mock-up. I remember seeing prototypes of these on YouTube a few years ago.
Here's a video from last year:

Some day they will make disposable packaging out of this stuff.
I'm still hoping for something more than a tablet or a netbook. Something that pushes the boundaries of things we've only seen as a concept device. Something like this, but attractive.

Apple isn't big into making "me too" devices so I've still got high hopes for something original to come out of their labs.
Like this:
Eh... that's a bit hyperactive. Give it 15 years...

That's an absolutely amazing concept that I could see as being an iPhone moment, the next big thing. Apple would be defining a completely new segment in the revolution of computing.
But sadly, I don't see this being anywhere in the near future.....maybe a couple of years out if Apple does indeed have something like this in the works.
Absolutely, great statement!People with vision will always own the future while the rest get simply owned.
I'm sure thats what you said of iphone mockups back in 2007 a month before the original iphone debut.
Fifteen years? That's a bit pessimistic. Have some vision. I expect all kinds of 3D HUD AR/VR by then.
Flexible OLEDs exist today. What do you see there that would hold it back until 2024?
I hope something like this pops up, I especially like the "laptop or canvas" bit.
