Tablet PC design concept has a flexible color display

Take a look at that tablet PC on the upper left, and imagine it folding up into that palm-sized package you see on the right. That's the idea of designer Daniel Alexander, whose concept for a foldable tablet PC uses flexible color screen technology that doesn't exist yet, but displays similar to this are under development right now.

The color screen of that tablet PC is flexible enough to fold all the way in half, and the QWERTY keyboard below sides up underneath to form this compact package, which can then be used as a cell phone. The concept calls for rubber hinges and sealing edges so the folded assembly will be completely waterproof. It's a beautiful design that could actually find its way to the real world in the next few years.
