You’ve seen foldable screens, how about foldable batteries? That may become a reality soon with Professor Keon Jae Lee from the Korean Advanced Institute Of Science And Technology creating just that. His solid-state flexible battery is said to retain energy level when folded, spindled, and/or mildly mutilated, promising bright future for the world of electronics.
These rechargeable lithium-ion batteries are actually printed on a thin film and can therefore be used on different kind of devices — think: ebook readers, tablets and even phones of the future.
The video below says it all – the batteries can be bent over and over again without reducing voltage output. This, of course, is still in the experimental phase but I’m sure OEMs all around the world are carefully watching where this leads. Hopefully we won’t have to wait forever to get our foldable smartphones and tablets. Can’t wait.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
