  If the person who wrote this entry is not a native English speaker, then please read no further. It is not my point to criticize anyone who has English as a second language.
  
  To accept the writing from someone for whom English is a primary language, however, raises the question of credibility of the information and the informer.
  
  This entry contains so many poorly structured sentences that lead to ambiguity of meaning, so many "small" mistakes, such a lack of proper capitalization, missing or redundant punctuation, word misuse and run-on sentences that lose connection with their initial point, that the reader wonders if the writer truly understands the subject or is simply parroting set phrases.
  
  My impression is that the writer is not adequately educated in English and therefore not qualified to represent such a prestigious client as Nokia, especially in the introduction of new and exciting technology, where clarity and quality of language is essential to attracting customers.
  
  Writing conveys more than information about a product; it also characterizes the writer. How he writes reflects well or poorly on himself and by association, his client.

  A really long sentence would include, "This entry contains so many poorly structured sentences that lead to ambiguity of meaning, so many "small" mistakes, such a lack of proper capitalization, missing or redundant punctuation, word misuse and run-on sentences that lose connection with their initial point, that the reader wonders if the writer truly understands the subject or is simply parroting set phrases." lol

  Long sentences are not bad grammar. They are just detailed and complex. However using complex modifying phrases as part of parallel structure is difficult and often confusing; the difficulty of writing a fluent and correct parallel is directly related to the size of the parallel.
  
  Probably the easiest way to fix it is to change it from "so many poorly structured sentences that lead to ambiguity of meaning, so many "small" mistakes, such a lack of proper capitalization, missing or redundant punctuation, word misuse and run-on sentences that lose connection with their initial point," to:
  
  "so many poorly structured sentences that lead to ambiguity of meaning, so many "small" mistakes and so much improper capitalization that acts to distract the reader, so many missing or redundant punctuation marks that hamper fluency, so much word misuse which undermines the writer's credibility, and so many run-on sentences that lose connection with their initial point"
  
  However this sentence is still long, and should be split into a topic sentence and several explanation sentences instead of a 2 sentence paragraph.

  This will not happen in seven years. Nor will it happen in ten years. Nanotechnology has yet to overcome some serious manufacturing issues, and even more on a factory-level production scale.
  I see someone getting one of these in fifteen years (at most) if they donate money to R&D substantial enough to feed the world's hungry and cure the world's sick...
  Actually, just mail the money to pharmacology research and genetic engineering.

  Dude? Joseph Harris please show me one person except yourself that cares about the exact spelling. Use your imagination. Even if someone did care why would they write a theses about how to spell correctly, just close your browser if you cant handle the imperfection of reality and the fact that not everyone is from America. You are probably one of those people that get annoyed by the fact that there are other countries in the world speaking other languages and that they to have internet access. Well guess what, there are more people on the internet that do not speak english than those that do. And you can be glad people still use this stupid language called english.
  
  This was a great post and I liked it.
  
  And here is to Joseph Harris: Jy is so n poepol, dink jy enige iemand gee om wat jy het om te se oor enige iemand se spelling?

  I agree with him. And likewise, I don't think it's right to penalize someone who's second language is English, but when you're going to try and publish something, it's actually really key to be able to make unambiguous statements, and proper sentences. If you disagree with me, you're going to have to find an employer with the same ideas as you.

  I'd like to add, though, that out of all the people I've seen on the internet out of that middle-eastern-ish part of the world that the admin seems to be from, he's got the best english, and I applaud his ethic for a language that isn't even his native.

  I liked the post, and people, don't flame Joseph, whe should all aim for perfection. I'm dutch and dyslexic (No, I don't know the proper spelling for that) but I'm doing the best I can to improve my English. Whe NEED people like Joseph, see it like a part of evolution.
  Back on topic: I think seven years is resonable, try googling or stubling for nano's. We are getting better at making, and controlling, the tech. and with the computerpower that whe'll have in five years things could go pretty fast.

  cool concept design,
  and i think i agree with joseph harris.
  hes not bashing anyone for the lack of english they speak, hes just saying that a global corporation like nokia, should at least choose somebody that speaks fluent english to demo or report about a product like this in english.
  after taking 4 years of spanish, i wouldnt be mad if my company chose someone that natively spoke spanish to report about a product to a hispanic demographic.
  either way, i call 7 years a very optimistic outlook.

  Absolutely beautiful design. Can't wait to see more pictures and read more information.
  
  Also, it's funny to see people bitching about peoples' operating systems and browser choices here... Also, the whole Harris debate - sure grammar and punctuation are great and needed, especially in the land of the internet, but you don't need to make a song and dance about it...

  I personally would have much more issue with someone of Joseph Harris opinions representing my research department. I would much prefer to have someone who knows about the product than who had perfect grammar. By valuing style and presentation over all else I knew he was apple man before I noticed the apple icon.

  Hi friends...
  I really loved the Nokia Morph concept. I am not good at English, and felt admitting this necessary. But anyway, keeping all the issues discussed above, about the language problems, aside, I congratulate the ADMINISTRATOR for the wonderful description of the Concept yet in the making. But I couldn't understand, what made some of you say that this concept shall take 7 years. I mean, why specifically SEVEN?

  Nice concept, maybe 1 day eh... thats if the world doesn't end in 2012??? (probably caused by nano tech!!!)
  
  As for the Joseph issue, he's a yank (no offence to others) and i'm English! The language is called English for a fucking reason, not fucking american!!! Whats more, this so called English language that you speak so well in America has several words with different spellings than "true English" (colour/color)
  
  Anyway, English is my only language and i'm not that great at that, all I can say is that I tilt my hat to those who take the time to learn other languages and not mock those who are trying!!! How many languages can Joseph speak fluently?

  Attention Mr Joseph Harris. I have contacted the Gay Mafia to seek out this butcher of our sacred language and they are going to forcibly redecorate his or her apartment in last years colours and add some shag carpet and place drinks on the coffee table without coasters. Resistance will be met with a vicious attack with teasing combs and nail files. This should teach this barbarian to stay away from English and possibly start going out to gay bars... Revenge shal be ours Mr Harris.
  May God, who is an Englishman after all bless you and give you the strength to continue this just quest to preserve the queen's English. Millions everywhere love you now and I shall name my next Barbie doll in your honour.
  Your servant and grateful admirer, Pieter

  Hahaha... leave John Harris alone... it's not his fault to be a dick. Also, people like us, not-english-speakers need that kind of "wise" critic to improve our english.
  Cool concept... but I think it'll happen in more than 7 years. And... why the fuck do you wanna know if things are clean in a microscopic level? You'll end up not eating anything and stop touching things because you will just get so paranoid about the bacterias and stuff that you will live terrified the rest of your high-tech-nano-life.

  In the future we will have robots that touch these things for us. As a bonus they will check everything we write as well. No more dangling participles, terrible grammar or embarrassing spelling mistakes. The robots will get the blame for all our shortcomings. Mr Harris is probably a robot just like that and he morphs into other things like a dickhead, a wanker and even a loser. I morph too from loyal supporter into a vicious bitch. I am sendinng him a glitter bomb. That stuff sticks to the skin forever. He is a marked man.
  I am now officially sick of this entire topic. Go to hell Harris. Outta here.............

  Nice post, thankyou.
  
  I'd also like to add that it was obvious the poster did not have english as his first language, so the post by Jo Harris is condenscending in tone despite his disclaimer at the beginning.
  
  Anyone with a strong grasp of english like Jo could have identified this so Jo's failure to do so probably highlights some sort of isolation from the world either physically or emotionally.
  
  Be nice Jo. You are not your father.

  Hello people... It is really nice to see so many people supporting the right person. Infact, if your words are able to convey your ideas in any way, there is no point crying for the grammatical correctness.
  
  Well, now I just want to talk about the phone.
  1) People, I really want to know, why specifically some of you have talked of 7 years.
  2) A friend of mine just told me that such CONCEPT phones are just meant to show the abilities of the company, and do not assure to come to existence in the near future. Is that really true?
