That article says Samsung is selling a special editon of the note 3 with a curved screen later this month

I've seen ereaders that roll up like a scroll (with BnW screens), which I thought was kinda cool. but seriously, I can't see the point of this advent at all. do you know anyone who's ever said 'gosh if only this screen could bend, I'd be so happy'... no, me neither.

The point of flexible screens is strength as far as I know WRT how the screen deals with a fall, they will also come in handy for wearable devices e.g. Smart**tches.

Everybody who ever dropped an iphone from a height greater than 2mm would have been grateful for a flexible screen..

true but the images on show there and the talk speak of actual curvature to screen.

It's getting beyond a joke when you can't say smart watch as one word - the censorship script is starting to really bug me; can't we just rely on moderators to delete deliberately sweary/abusive posts? I tried to post an image yesterday and it wouldn't come out whatever I did - eventually I realised that the last letters of the URL were l, s and d.. We're all grown-ups here surely (aren't you supposed to be to sign up?). Genuine abuse should be clamped down on, hard, but I'd like to be able to discuss Charles D i c k e n s without looking over my shoulder.

they won't change it, they just updated the site remember? can't even use symbols

Samsung today announced the Galaxy Round, featuring the very 1st Curved OLED display. It's pretty much a Galaxy Note3 without the Stylus: http://is.gd/EtoTRA
