Fujitsu Flexbook

 Did you ever wish for a tablet that came with a keyboard? Well in the near future, this may actually happen!
Taiwan-based designer, Hao-Chun Huang created a design called the Fujitsu Flexbook for entry into Fujitsu’s 2011 Design Award contest. Given its name, it has the ability to flex and fold into a tablet or a netbook. With the use of OLED flex screens, technology is becoming more compact and multifunctional.

 Currently the designs are giving The Flexbook a 21:9 11-inch folding screen and is designed to be portable. The keyboard could also fold up and used whenever needed. It would convert from netbook into a as tablet and e-book reader when the keyboard is stowed. For people who are interested in buying netbooks or tablets, they new piece of technology may answer both parties wishes. This may also make a cool alternative for those who cant afford Apple products but still want something portable with a large screen.
 It will be very interesting to see what kinds of tablets, netbooks, and smartphones manufacturers come up with when flexible OLED screens are becoming cheaply available according to oled.at (Visit OLED.at) Already many companies are beginning to use these flex screens in their products for example Samsung Mobile Display introduce a 4.5 inch flexible AMOLED Display at the FPD-International 2010.
