With each passing season, another wave of mobile devices is released that’s more capable and more powerful than the generation preceding it. We’re at the point where anyone armed with a current model smartphone or tablet is able to handle almost all of their at-home—and even at-work—tasks without needing anything else. We’re living proof: for the last two years, WIRED has been able to cover events like CES almost exclusively using our smartphones.
Bendable smartphones could be a reality in five years, Lenovo's head of mobile told CNBC.
Very easy to steal too from the looks of it.
More pointless, overpriced attachments to compensate for designer shortsightedness could be a reality in 5 years.
Some people mocked the original iPhone when it launched, and the Samsung Galaxy Note provoked much mirth for being too big, but both defied their critics with strong sales and spawned sequels that are still going strong.

Let me warn you before hand that it is gonna cost you a fortune if you plan on using this one for some regular use.
Overblown. Screen size isn't going to be more acceptable in the next 2 years. I need at least 13 inches to get actual hard core productivity
Yeah. No.
I can see it happens.. even if a small screen smartphone, plugged in or wirelessly your mini HDMI to a big screen TV or monitor. Kaboom, here we go.
No thanks. I like a nice cheap smartphone since I'm carrying it around and risking dropping it, losing it, getting it stolen if I put it down in the wrong place, etc and not willing to pay anyone $700 to replace it (like a contract company would want...which is why I go prepay. $35/mo unlimited everything, great service).
No.....
