Cue the Scroll Phone^TM^.

I can’t even imagine the nightmare UI that would accommodate that type of screen.

Mechanically, I could see a device that has a slide down keyboard and a roll up screen. Functionally, I can’t see how it would be useful for daily smart phone actions like one-handed use or swipe-gestures.

A tablet that rolled uplike an ancient scroll would be kind of cool. We already have roll up keyboards.
