Concept cellphones are often scrutinized because they represent the unseen future and things that could be, highlighting and addressing the shortcomings of today's generation of handsets while looking good. NEC engineers have developed a concept Tag cellphone that is made from some form of rubbery "shape-memorizing" material, bending and twisting to your command. It acts as an armband by itself, so you can be sure that your cellphone remains strapped to your wrist or arm at all times. Hopefully this concept can be taken further and undergo the manufacturing process in the near future.
