Taiwanese company Polytron has unveiled the world's first transparent glass smartphone prototype. Currently this unnamed device has only the visible elements that are the board, memory card and camera. This touchscreen smartphone has no OS and hence only basic function works. They suggests they could be in the shops by the end of 2013. Accordign to T3 "Polytron has developed 'Polyvision Privacy Glass' whereby liquid crystal molecules randomly orientated inside the glass line up when an electric charge is applied. So, while the glass is opaque when the power is off, fire it up and the sheet becomes see-through." [Via T3]
