The Nokia Morph concept uses nanotechnology “based flexible materials, transparent electronics and self-cleaning surfaces.” No word yet on pricing and availability.
These materials should enable Nokia to produce a mobile device that “…might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform their mobile device into radically different shapes”.

Apple could quite possibly be working on a clamshell iPhone, according to this patent, which gives “the user three touchpads to play around with, depending on what the phone is being used for.”
The clamshell design allows the entire phone to be shrunk without sacrificing any functionality, although you will loose some screen space. Perfect for an iPhone Nano, perhaps? Your guess is as good as mine, but whatever this technology ends up it
