WHOA!! Anyone else see that lady on the TODAY show debuting disposable/paper cell phones? Will have paper laptops too!

[KDOG]

Anybody else see that? ITs a conductive ink they print on paper then fold up and add a battery. It was so cool!!! Theyll cost 10 bucks and have 60 minutes of talk time with them.
I can't wait to see what these paper laptops will be able to do!!! Gotta find out more on that!!!

I saw the promo for it and it definitely piqued my interest. Sounds even more cool after reading your description.

Any additional info. you might have on it would be great...

 

[NFS4]

Yep, I was watching it too...she seemed like a normal woman too and not some geek

Ive heard about this technology being used for disposable memory as well. Supposed to be real cheap. I heard talk about using it for mp3 players and such. Very cool indeed.

Just what we need, more landfill.

 

[Adul]

Any provisions to recycle this stuff?

 

[zippy]

Interesting...but wouldn't it make more sense to spend a few more bucks and be able to use the phone again and recharge the battery?!

 

[Oyeve]

Its paper. Probably biodegrades in two days.

[Oyeve]

SHADDAP!

 

[PliotronX]

There'll be some kind of tax on it.. there always is

 

[WileCoyote]

it would be nice to have one of those disposable phones in my car since i dont have a cell phone... ya know, for emergencies and stuff.

 

[Geocross]

paper laptops??? what's next, paper desktops? going to make overclocking interesting....

 

[Kermit]

Just make sure not to mistake it for tissue paper

 

[dkozloski]

Was this thing actually demoed or is it still just BS promotion?

 

[psyched]

It is cheap, meant for emergencies obviously since its dial-out only and its on a freaken paper The military is very interested in this technology now, so it may not make it to us consumers. My only wonder is on the sound quality, which cellular network will it go through?

 

[Oyeve]

Plus, if you're on the road and need to take an emergency dump, you can use your paper phone or laptop!
