Inventables has a new concept phone, dubbed the Origami Cell Phone … unrelated to the UMPC.
The OCP uses e-paper and a pop-out folding screen in order to provide a display that is much larger than that found in today’s cell phones. The company estimates that it may take about 2 years to convert this concept into a working phone.
Flexible displays look interesting, and the one shown is probably do-able, but in general they seem too fragile to be in widespread use.

Plus, who wants a bunch of creases in their cell phone display?
Yes, if it comes down to strength vs. compactness, I’d want a strong phone.
