Nokia Morph patent application

Nokia have apparently submitted another patent application, something that looks like the mythical and legendary Nokia Morph Concept.

The patent application says 2010, a few years later than when we actually saw the Nokia Morph video.

Over the years we’ve been seeing advances in stretchy displays, bio sensors with most recently at Nokia World, getting glimpses of the nanotech that could waterproof devices and flexible, twisty screens. It seemed to signal that Nokia were really working towards making Nokia Morph a reality.

Note: It’s just a patent application. It might very well be a long time until we see something close to a market ready product from Nokia.

More details can be found over at: USPTO
