Prototype For Transparent Cell Phone Unveiled
Science fiction has always been a driving force for almost all the technological advances taking place around the globe. Hollywood being the prime source, movies right from Iron Man to Avatar, have bragged about using transparent cell phones and other transparent devices. And now, this fantasy has taken a step closer to reality.

A global systems integration firm based in Duluth, GA, named Polytron, unveiled a prototype of a transparent cell phone. Excluding the area of the battery and memory card, the rest of the phone is transparent. The company has already made innovative uses of glass, where they have successfully constructed a nearly transparent USB memory stick, which would be available later this year for sale.
The concept of transparent screens look pretty impressive, and at the end of this year, devices supporting it could be ready for the retail market. The factors to doubt this concept would be how much such devices would cost and privacy related issues, but hey, crazy enthusiasts alike us can ignore them with a cool gadget like this, can't we?
