Have you ever imagined what it would be like if your smartphone, tablet or notebook were flexible enough so as to fit comfortably in your pocket, backpack, jacket and so on? I am pretty sure that's a function that you have thought of at least once or twice.

Good news! If you are a hardware engineer or entrepreneur or both, Samsung is now encouraging you to imagine a way you could use their upcoming flexible displays.

If you're neither of those and your role is that of consumer, all there is to do is sit and wait to see what the aforementioned engineering entrepreneurs will be lining up in the coming months.

I, for one, am looking forward to a phone whose size doesn't make keeping it in your pocket a sometimes uncomfortable necessity.
