Nokia Morph: Nokia
The concept device is nanotech-inspired, and would serve as a normal phone or mini-computer, complete with keyboard and touchpad. It also boasts a self-cleaning function on the surface that could extend the life of the phone.
Nokia says some of the technology in Morph could start making its way into real mobile devices within seven years. That sounds like a long time to wait for phones that doubles as an accessory. Shouldn’t they be implanted in our ears and jaws by then?

That is proabably one of the coolest ways to use nanotechnology, I don't see the signigcance it can bring besides that fact that it would be super cool for your cell phone to be your bracelet too.

"The gadget’s flexible " We should just rename it the gadget already, In the future it will do everything from rendering GPS to our vision and other sensory, and changing our room to an environment of freewill and all your friends log in... - The best guess is a Theory.
