Looks like stretchable, flexible, wearable phones and mp3 players are right around the corner. Even in its infancy... I still think it's VERY cool. Check it out!

It's too much to use our hands now????

I remember when the iPod classic was suppose to revolutionize everything because of how light it was to hold when you worked out.

Now people talk about it like it's a giant brick.

I'm really into wearable computing, but it's still far into its infancy.

Just make sure you don't wear it to the airport in Boston.

Many years ago my friend had a gigantic black plastic watch with no display. It had just one button and when you pressed it, it told you the time in arabic. Electronics you could wear.

Yep; in a way, because technology has reached points where the stuff is so small our hands are too big.

Blackberry's and other Qwerty texting keypads are nice, but the limiting factor is the size of the keypad which can only get so small before our big sausage fingers get in the way. Touchscreens and styli [styluses?] are OK but again, the chips are now so tiny, the batteries are following, and the next Big Thing may well be some completely diff workable keyboard; Ive seen an ipod like device that projects a qwerty keyboard on any surface you lay it on and you type away at the projected keys and it works. Or not.

Voice, eye tracking heads up displays and then mind recogition will make all of this stuff stone age eventually. And Skynet becomes self aware...

Moore's Law is at work:

Moore's law describes an important trend in the history of computer hardware: that the number of transistors that can be inexpensively placed on an integrated circuit is increasing exponentially, doubling approximately every two years.

I saw a story on a sub- dermal led screen/cell phone...kinda freaky
