We've all seen Apple's iPhone, complete with a slick touchscreen, mobile Internet access and chic (read: pretentious) exterior.
That's pretty cutting-edge, right? Right?
But, have you ever seen a cell phone that bends like Stretch Armstrong?

Thought not.
Meet "Morph," Nokia's new concept phone. It's on display at the "Design and the Elastic Mind" exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City until mid-May and is an amalgam of ultra-new (and ultra-expensive) nanotechology.
But what does this mean for the common consumer?
It means you could wear it on your wrist, if you so choose. Bend it backwards. Twist it in half. It won't break. It's basically an electronic gymnast.
Don't expect it in Paris' Prada bag anytime soon though. Nokia says it's still in early development, but could eventually land on the market when nanotechology becomes a little less wallet-crippling.
