Introducing... paper.

Canadian and international partners on Tuesday will unveil research, allowing tablets to look like that paper you just tossed in the trash.

The flexible paper-computer, developed at Kingston's Queen's University, in collaboration with UK based Plastic Logic and Intel Labs, may redraw the image people have of computing.

A plastic touch-screen powered by an Intel Core i5 Processor, instead of using several apps or windows on a single display, the paper computer features 10 or more interactive displays or PaperTabs. But it may be a few more years before you'll get your hands on one.
