- Abstract
- A project about why and how we have smartphones, how we use them and what the future is, resulting in a new product category, the Pocket tablet.
Today's mobile communication devices offer us tremendous opportunities to move our work, socialization and entertainment anywhere, to the bus, to the car and even into line at the grocery store. They give us the power of a computer and the internet right in our pockets. They give us the possibility to tear down boundaries, both geographical and demographical.

Today's mobile communication devices offer us tremendous opportunities to move our work, socialization and entertainment anywhere, to the bus, to the car and even into line at the grocery store. They give us the power of a computer and the internet right in our pockets. They give us the possibility to tear down boundaries, both geographical and demographical.
The screen of a smartphone is the portal to a world of browsing, entertainment and communication. We see today that the computation power of the smartphones are increasing, and the possibilities are greater now than ever. But to surf the web, watch movies and take notes on a smartphone screen the size of you palm, is suboptimal in comparison to the bigger device like a tablet. More and more companies are making their smartphones bigger and bigger to give the user a larger experience. But how do you enlarge the device and still fit it into the pockets of the users? Much like the tablet closing the gap between laptop and the touchscreen smartphone, the result of my project, the pocket tablet, is a new product category. The pocket tablet is a concept combining emerging technology, the flexible OLED screen, and the big screen experience of the tablet with the mobility of the pocket sized smartphone. (Less)
