I just so happened to virtually stumble on this TED Talk given by Fabian Hemmert on the future of smart phones:
The Shape Shifting Future of the Mobile Phone
These days smart phones such as the iPhone and the Droid are almost like members of the family; we've learned to rely on them when we're in a pickle. Hemmert proposes that there are things cooking in the smart phone development fields that incorporates physical movement into the inner workings of the phone itself. He shows video clips of prototypes that have actual weights gliding inside, expanding and contracting sizes, and even one that breathes and has a heartbeat in reaction to stimuli. How cool is that?!
Check out the video, it's really fascinating.
