We and the rest of the world are beating Sony time after time on its lack of creativity. This time Sony tries to keep away from that "stigma" and go in different directions, hard and soft...:wink:
I've just discovered that Sony has just presented a new innovative patent that allows electronic devices to change their rigid surface to a glexible one using electric current.
It means that whenever you've finished using your pocket PC, for example, you'll be able to press a button and fold your pocket PC like it was a piece of "Plasticine".
Sony might use their new technology as a new gimmick in its new portable console (PSP2??? :???: )...
Even more interesting sounds the idea of implementing this technology in a "game controller". Just think of it...instead of a "Force Feedback" mechanism, the controller will become rigid and soft, according to the situation in the game...:???:
