Samsung imagines see-through bendy tablet of the future Yes, it'll be many a year before we're all running around the globe, unfolding our transparent OLED mobile internet devices - which will seemingly operate without batteries and circuitry - and gaining useful local knowledge through a mix of mobile broadband, augmented reality and 3D.

I hope no one complains about the lack of a usb port and no sim card slot, or the fact that you don't seem able to swap out the battery.
Nice advert for a thing that won't exist.
Cool thinking though.
May be you could charge it by flexing, that would be good like a kinetic watch or something. But where is OS stored, how is info transmitted to screen?
