My cousin worked for LiquidMetal a number of years back (7-10 or so) when their primary market was golf clubs. Even back then it was well known within the company that the long-term plan was mobile devices. They even had a few prototypes made in China to help with pitches. LiquidMetal is substantially stronger than other metals. It's not about the bouncing. It is perfect for saving weight and especially thickness. At the time the only issue was cost, but I assume they have covered good ground on that front over the last decade. As for the technology itself, my understanding is that they cool the alloy in a particular way that leaves its molecules unaligned -- like a liquid. This makes it much stronger. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmetal http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidmetal
