Recently, CES 2013 took place at Las Vegas on Tuesday January eight. Many new gadgets were released, some more advance than others, and some just flat out amazing. An example would have to be what Samsung unveiled. Brian Berkeley, head of Samsung's electronic display division, unveiled a phone that had a matchbox looking body, but with a paper thin, flexible and fully operational OLED touch screen. The screen cannot fold completely in half like a piece of paper, but is capable of bending into a tube. This means that Samsung can make larger touch screens for their devices, in a much smaller and much more convenient package. Many people are critical of the idea, saying that it being a touch screen may not work. Due to the flexibility of the screen, one may not be able to use the touchscreen as well as other phones, due the screen folding and flexing to it's touch. Other companies and phone developers have not come out with similar technology and have not shown progress for it, let alone an actual prototype. In reality, the future possibility of having flexible screens for your phone seems distant, but also near. Samsung has not given any comments as to when we can see a commercial release.
