    I don't get it. Wouldn't a transparent display be very distracting? You'd always have the content you're trying to view overlaid on top of whatever background you happen to hold the device against. That's worse than glare/reflections. You'd literally have to put a white sheet of paper behind the phone in order to get any reasonable contrast on the display. So again, what's the point? Seems to be little more than a gimmick.

    Ok, so it's translucent in standby and opaque when in use? Still seems like a gimmick to me. What's the point of a translucent display?

    Note, you will need to have that glove on at all times, and use a bluetooth headset to avoid it looking like an oily smudged mess all the time.

    It is just a gimmick, but it looks pretty cool.

    Also, you need to buy an Aston Martin to take full advantage of it's functionally. lol

    Yeah, I will pass also. It just reminded me of one of the iPhone concepts I saw last year.

    This is probably an April Fool's joke anyways. It just doesn't make any sense when you think about it.

    I don't know, the Samsung article say something along the lines of using the ambient lighting to produce the picture
