Conceptual Flexi PDA boasts rubber hinges, flexible display

Just as Dell calls it quits on the PDA market and flexible displays become more and more common, it makes sense to see a concept device that takes advantage of both opportunities. The Flexi PDA, although still stuck on the drawing board, would present a rubber hinged handheld that could fold open much like a book, giving users a device that's a bit smaller and deeper than current alternatives. Additionally, the casing could easily be ruggedized in order to add water, dust, and shock proofing abilities for those with less delicate work spaces. As expected, this novelty would also pack a QWERTY keyboard, double as a cellphone, and triple as a media player should it ever hit the market, but for now we'll just have to settle with the above picture and a faint hint of hope.

i think it looks sweet. i dropped my verizon vx6700, or whatever the hell it is, and it was all done. fell out of my pocket twice and never worked again. make it on par with milspec and i'll pay 500 or so for it. it would be killer for work.
