A key difference is that Steve would have announced the iFlex. Demoed the iFlex, said that the iFlex will have 200 hours of battery life and then stated that they are taking pre-orders now.

Then, for the next four months, the only topic of discussion anywhere will be the iFlex.

That's what HP still doesn't get. Instead, they will introduce the IF-2000-PR in three years and everyone will say "Didn't HP have a device like this three years ago?"]]>Jul 12th 2010 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/Jul 12th 2010 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/holy shit your avatar is scary]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/It's the Traninator xD]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/Jul 12th 2010 2:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/speaking of avatars, have engadget ever fixed their broken-ass avatar uploading yet?]]>Jul 12th 2010 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/Considering nearly everyone has the same avatar, I'd say no. ]]>Jul 12th 2010 3:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/

In the spirit of naming phones like "Incredible." The new Palm phone should be called:
F - YEAH!]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/
I agree, Palm desperately needs a new phone. Every year on July 13th I get a new phone for my bday. I was hoping to upgrade my Pre to a new Palm phone this year, but that certainly isn't happening now. If the Incredible was on Sprint I probably would have jumped to it. Evo is just a bit too large for my tastes.]]>Jul 12th 2010 3:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/Jul 12th 2010 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/@MrKal_El]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/

As a rolled up tv in the livingroom.

Many possibilities.]]>Jul 12th 2010 2:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/
I don't know about this one specifically, but most 'flexible displays' are not really going to be flexible in the way we might assume, because they aren't sturdy enough to be repeatedly rolled up several times a day. Initially at least, being flexible probably just means they can manufacture it in a shape that isn't flat, possibly wrapping around the device or something like that, and it may be more rugged (if you drop the device it might bounce rather than smash - that kind of thing).

Also there have been like a zillion flexible displays announced over the past five years and none of them ever resulted in any interesting products - or in any products at all, for that matter. :)

So while it would be cool, let's not get too excited about flexible displays just yet. Big thing here is the 'bistable, can show video' bit. For example, the bistable bit means that your phone can always show the current time and your wallpaper, permanently, so you don't have to touch it or anything when you want to check the time. And it won't use any battery power to do this (well, not much - it has to update the screen once per minute). Similarly if you want to reference a web page and you put the phone down, come back, it's still there. None of that annoying time-out business. I bet this screen looks crap otherwise, though... I'm guessing this is just a vapoury as the others.]]>Jul 12th 2010 8:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/Jul 12th 2010 2:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/12/hps-mckinney-hints-that-a-flexible-display-palm-device-could-ha/
