Although the world may still be a ways from seeing fully usable transparent screens on mobile devices, Nokia seems to be making good progress on flexible screen technology (an alternative that's just as interesting), as evidenced by a prototype device showcased at the recently concluded Nokia World 2011 expo in London. Pictured above is a so-called Nokia Kinetic device, a thin touchscreen-only contraption that you can operate simply by twisting and turning it on its sides. You can bend it back slightly to zoom in, bend forward to zoom out, squeeze a bit on the sides to navigate menus. It's like something that's straight out of the future. And the future is indeed the only place where it will be available for now because as Engadget points out, this device probably won't be starring in any Nokia trade shows until 2021. Can you think of anything that could make this device cooler? Catch a video of it in action after the break.
