Is This the Flexible Tablet of the Future? [VIDEO]

In the video, a see-through device made entirely of a flexible, AMOLED touch screen is used to take photos, watch videos, read news, play 3D games and translate speech from one language to another - and it all looks amazing.

Of course, a device such as this one is years -- decades, perhaps -- from mass production. One issue that immediately springs to mind is the problem of equipping such a device with a battery and the needed circuitry (all of which would also need to be flexible), and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

However, the flexible AMOLED screen technology has been in development for years, and it's about time we start seeing some real-world results -- perhaps next year, when Samsung and Nokia should introduce the first flexible smartphones to the market. We're sure they won't look as spectacular as the device in this video, but one can dream, no?
