Bendable Phones??

The Computer Hardware and Software Industry is all about innovation and innovative ideas are what drive this industry. Without this component, and the desire for companies in this industry to keep producing new and keep updating features of products would not be so high or successful for that matter. There are many opportunities for innovation in this industry, but the most striking innovation lies in the features of the products themselves of course. Companies in this industry update their products and come up with new technological ideas on order to gain a competitive edge.

For example, who had ever thought that you would be able to control your devices with the help of voice recognition? Did you ever think that touch screens would replace mouse and keyboards? If you truly think about these advances, you make also ask yourself: what next? How can we beat this? Well, brace yourself, for rumour has it that we may be able to experience something more exciting: flexible screens.

It has been said that this much anticipated technology may be available in the upcoming year of 2012, as Nokia has already presented a prototype handle device that allows you to twist the screen, whilst Samsung promises tablets with flexible screens. There seems to be competition in the industry about this new technique already. Market researchers revealed that the biggest limitation of large screens is that they are not portable and cannot be ‘stuffed’ in your pockets, thus, manufacturers have responded to this issue by developing the idea of foldable screens.

In my opinion, entrepreneurship is the ability to think differently and have a solid strategy which allows you to gain competitive advantage over the others and keeps the company moving uphill. The corporate world runs on the basis of new ideas, thus, the introduction and mention of foldable and flexible screens is rather fascinating to me. This idea revolves around high risk factors, but it also seems promising and profitable. I feel that if this new innovation is in response to certain consumers and market researchers, then companies like Nokia and Samsung are merely catering to these needs and seeking means of expansion and diversifying by investing their time and capital into producing new products that are desirable to the customers.
