In the phone industry its the unbreakable and smallest which are the best, the worlds first interactive paper computer looks set to dominate for years to come.
It is extremely lightweight and made out of a thin-film, the prototype device can do everything a smartphone currently does.

Stores books, plays music, send texts and make phone calls and when no one is interacting with it, it uses no power.
This feels and operates like a small sheet of interactive paper, which means when the users are reading they don't feel like they are holding a sheet of glass or metal. And you can interact with it by bending it into a cell phone, flipping the corner to turn pages or write on it with a pen.
The flexible form of the display makes it much more portable than any current mobile computer, it will shape with you pocket.
In my opinion i am not sure whether they will take over the smart phone as i think it is not the most aesthetically appealing device, and in this day and age society generally go for a nice design as well as functionality, there will be people who will find this device handy though and prefer it over the typical mobile phone. Also, having to bend it to navigate would seem to me to be a lot more annoying/complicated then using a touch screen.
I'm really curious where the whole smart phone interaction is going in the next years. Check this out:
