The Elastic Cellphone concept is one adaptable ball of innovation. Able to convert from a media player to a game console and back to a messaging behemoth, the Elastic Cellphone will serve as a mobile revolution. The phone has a rubber strand that wraps the phone to serve whatever purpose the user needs. One of the features and functions of the phone is a fully capable touchscreen, which has a keyboard that doesn't obstruct the screen.
Making the mobile even more customizable is a keyboard that can be expanded. The keyboard seems to wrap around the Elastic Cellphone like a rubber snake, all the while combining the functions of QWERTY keyboards and full touchscreens such as the iPhone. OLED and touch feedback are just icing on the cake to an already innovative conceptual convertible cellphone. I hope to see the Elastic Cellphone in production soon.
